3 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the BAIC Weiwang 306 is 45 liters. Here are some precautions: Do not wait for the fuel light to come on before refueling: Before driving, car owners should check the fuel gauge and calculate whether refueling is needed during the trip based on the distance and the fuel gauge reading. Owners can refuel in advance and should not wait until the fuel light comes on. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, and it generates high temperatures during continuous operation. Being immersed in fuel helps to cool it effectively. Refuel in the morning or evening: Normally, temperatures are lower in the morning and evening, and the vaporization point of gasoline is also lower, so it is advisable to refuel during these times. Gasoline has the property of thermal expansion and contraction, and it is charged by volume. Avoid filling the tank in urban areas: It is not recommended to fill the fuel tank completely when driving in urban areas, as frequent stops and starts can increase the engine load and fuel consumption.
I've driven the BAIC Weiwang 306 for several years. Honestly, the 45-liter fuel tank capacity isn't particularly large, but it's absolutely sufficient for hauling goods or passengers. Filling up from empty with 92-octane gasoline costs just over 300 yuan. The combined fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters per 100 km, meaning a full tank can cover over 500 km - perfect for 2-3 days of urban deliveries. By the way, its rear seats can be folded forward entirely, which is extremely practical when transporting large items, offering flexible space arrangement. For frequent long-distance trips, I'd recommend keeping a small fuel can in the trunk for emergencies.
Last week, I helped Old Wang, who runs an auto parts store, pick out a used Weiwang 306. I specifically checked the spec sheet: the nominal fuel tank capacity is 45 liters. In reality, you'll notice that after the fuel pump nozzle clicks off, you can still squeeze in about 5 more liters—but I really don't recommend doing this, as gasoline expansion can easily lead to overflow and damage the carbon canister. The fuel tank is positioned under the rear seats, with sturdy sheet metal protection, so hauling hardware won't risk dents. We did the math: a full tank at current fuel prices can cover about 550 km, saving one extra trip compared to similar vehicles.
