What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD Surui in liters?

The 2018 BYD Surui 1.5L manual Enjoy edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension features a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 Changan Yidong DT 1.6L manual Luxury edition has a 45L fuel tank, and the 2020 Beijing U5 1.5L manual Luxury edition (China VI) has a 48L fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because automakers specify the fuel tank capacity from the bottom to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (empty) and F (full). When the needle approaches E, fuel is low; near F indicates sufficient fuel.
I've been driving the BYD Surui for several years. Its fuel tank is approximately 50 liters, making refueling quite convenient. A full tank can last for 400 to 500 kilometers, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. In the city, the fuel gauge is quite accurate. I recommend not waiting until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel, as it can easily damage the fuel pump. The fuel tank capacity of the Surui may vary slightly across different model years, but it has generally remained around 50 liters from older to newer models. As a daily driver, this capacity is just right, and you won't feel anxious even on long trips. The fuel tank is designed at the rear, making it easy to locate. Just be careful when inspecting the fuel lines yourself. Remember to replace the fuel filter regularly to keep the fuel system unobstructed and avoid clogging issues. This way, you can extend the life of the fuel tank, saving both money and hassle.
