What is the fuel tank capacity of the BJ40 in liters?

The officially announced fuel tank capacity of the BJ40 is 75 liters. The unit of measurement for fuel tank capacity: The international standard uses L (liters) as the unit of measurement for automobile fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have corresponding standards for automobile fuel tank capacity. More information is as follows: 1. In China, the fuel tank capacity of automobiles is regulated to be 95% of the rated value, but in practice, the actual capacity is generally larger than the nominal capacity, so there is no need to worry that the fuel tank is smaller than the actual capacity. 2. For vehicles with high fuel consumption, the fuel tank capacity set by the brand will be relatively large, while for models with low fuel consumption, the fuel tank capacity is designed to be smaller. 3. Currently, the method to check the fuel tank capacity is generally by observing the reading on the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel quantity will be accurately reflected on the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5-6 segments, each representing the remaining fuel capacity of the tank. Generally, when the fuel gauge shows only two segments remaining, it is time to refuel to avoid running out of gasoline halfway.
I've been driving the BJ40 for over two years now. As an owner who frequently takes long-distance trips, its standard 75-liter fuel tank capacity proves highly practical for both off-roading and commuting. I remember one self-drive trip to Inner Mongolia where a full tank could cover more than 500 kilometers, eliminating the hassle of frequent refueling on the road. The BJ40 averages around 12 liters per 100 kilometers in fuel consumption, and the 75-liter design strikes just the right balance—optimizing chassis space while enhancing range. I've compared it with other rugged SUVs like the Prado's 80-liter tank; though slightly smaller, the BJ40 offers better value for money and suits general users more. For daily use, I recommend regular checks on the fuel cap's seal to prevent oil leaks on bumpy roads, which could pose safety risks. Especially during high-load driving, the fuel pump is prone to wear, so proactive maintenance is key—this significantly helps prolong the vehicle's lifespan.
