What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan CS15 in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Changan CS15 is 44 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Changan CS15 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Changan CS15 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.1 to 6.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 667 to 721 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically 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 usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving the Changan CS15 for almost a year now. With a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters, a full tank can take me quite far. The average fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which means I can drive approximately 600 kilometers on a full tank. This is more than enough for long-distance travel, so I don't have to worry about finding a gas station midway. For daily city driving, I only need to refuel once a week, which is quite convenient. One thing to note is that the fuel tank cap tends to lock easily, so it's advisable not to twist it too hard during checks to avoid damage. Additionally, when parking, try not to leave the fuel tank opening facing upwards to minimize rainwater seepage. Overall, the design is reasonable and highly practical.
