What is the fuel tank capacity of the Alto in liters?
3 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Alto is 35 liters. Below is an introduction on how to check the fuel tank capacity and precautions for fuel tank usage. Method to check fuel tank capacity: Check the fuel gauge, which is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the vehicle's fuel tank. It can be either a pointer or a digital display. The low fuel warning light will illuminate immediately when the fuel level in the tank falls below a certain specified value, indicating that you should refuel promptly. Precautions for fuel tank usage: The fuel tank must be stored in a safe location to prevent fire hazards. The fuel tank or fuel drum should be placed separately in a visible area, at an appropriate distance from diesel generator sets, and smoking must be strictly prohibited. After refueling, the fuel tank cap should be locked to reduce fuel evaporation loss and maintain fuel cleanliness.
I remember the fuel tank capacity of the old Alto was just over 30 liters. My 2009 model shows 35 liters when fully filled. For daily commuting, a full tank can last about 400 kilometers, which is quite fuel-efficient. Once on a long trip, I specifically tested it - when the fuel light came on and I went to refuel, it only took about 32 liters, indicating there's still some safety margin left in the tank. Remember not to wait until the tank is completely empty before refueling, as it can easily damage the fuel pump. During each maintenance, ask the mechanic to check the fuel tank vent pipe. With the car's age, the rubber hose tends to age and clog, affecting refueling speed and pressurizing the tank.
I previously drove a relative's old Alto and specifically checked the manual, which stated a fuel tank capacity of 35 liters. In reality, filling up from the low fuel warning light to a full stop at the pump nozzle took about 32-33 liters, leaving some safety margin to avoid the fuel pump running dry. This capacity lasted about three weeks for city commuting, but highway driving consumed noticeably more fuel. Avoid overfilling the tank, as fuel spillage from the filler neck can damage the charcoal canister. The fuel tank is located on the right side of the chassis, and replacing the fuel pump requires removing the rear seat, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, always remember to use a gas station funnel to filter out impurities when refueling to reduce fuel pump failures.
