What is the fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 530?
2 Answers
Baojun 530 has a fuel tank capacity of 52L. The standard fuel tank capacity indicated in the vehicle specifications is not actually the maximum capacity. According to international standards, L (liter) is used as the unit of measurement for automobile fuel tank capacity, and different countries and regions have corresponding standards for fuel tank capacity. Here are some precautions for refueling: 1. When the low fuel warning light comes on, there is still a certain amount of fuel remaining. Generally, this is the time to refuel, but it is best to refuel before the warning light comes on. Many vehicle manuals recommend refueling when the fuel gauge pointer reaches the one-quarter mark, which is to protect the fuel pump. 2. Nowadays, gasoline vehicles are equipped with electric fuel pumps and electronic fuel level sensors, which need to be immersed in gasoline for heat dissipation. If there is too little gasoline, the fuel pump will not be immersed, greatly affecting heat dissipation. Poor heat dissipation can affect the lifespan of the fuel pump and even cause it to burn out. 3. If the vehicle's fuel tank has not been cleaned for a long time, the accumulation of impurities at the bottom of the tank can easily cause fuel line blockages when the fuel level is low. Additionally, a low fuel level increases the workload of the fuel pump and affects the cooling of the pump's internal rotor. It may also impact the oxygen sensor in the exhaust system.
I'm a Baojun 530 owner and have been driving this car for almost three years. The fuel tank capacity is 52 liters. For daily city driving, with a 20-kilometer commute to work, one refuel per week is sufficient, costing around 200+ RMB for a full tank. It performs even better on long trips—last time I went to the mountains, a one-way trip of over 300 km still left a third of the tank, so no need to refuel midway. I think the capacity design is quite reasonable: too large would waste space and cost more to fill, while too small would limit range and cause worry. For SUV drivers, I recommend developing the habit of regularly checking the fuel gauge instead of waiting for the warning light. In summer, avoid filling the tank completely as fuel expansion due to heat can cause overflow. Remember, fuel tank capacity directly impacts driving safety and convenience—the Baojun 530’s size is very economical for family trips and daily use.
