What is the fuel tank capacity of the Bin Yue?

The fuel tank capacity of the Bin Yue is 45 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Bin Yue can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Bin Yue uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.1 to 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 714 to 738 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I often drive the BinYue to commute, and I find its fuel tank size quite moderate, with a capacity of around 45 liters. I remember during a long trip, a full tank could last about 400-500 kilometers, depending on road conditions and speed. On the highway, the fuel consumption is lower, while in city traffic jams, it might only last a bit over 400 kilometers. I usually refuel about once a week. If I go out on weekends, I’ll fill up the tank before setting off to avoid looking for gas stations midway, which is quite convenient. For maintenance, I recommend not always running on an empty tank, as it can damage the fuel pump. Also, choose gas stations with good fuel quality to prevent impurities from affecting the engine. Over time, the 45-liter tank design proves quite reasonable for daily commuting—it doesn’t require too frequent refueling, nor is it too heavy to affect handling.
