What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changhe Furuida M50?

The fuel tank capacity of the BAIC Changhe M50S-2020 1.5L Comfort Model DAM15KL is 47 liters. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain configuration is front-engine, rear-wheel drive. The front suspension features a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension utilizes leaf springs. In the same vehicle class, the Foton Gratour ix5-2018 1.2L Utility Model G03 has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This occurs because automakers specify tank capacity from the tank bottom to a safe fill level, leaving space between this level and the tank opening. This design accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled to the tank opening, the actual refueled volume will exceed the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel levels, while proximity to F shows sufficient fuel supply.
The fuel tank capacity of the Changhe Furuida M50 is 42 liters. As a long-time driver of this vehicle, I know it can run about 500 kilometers on a full tank, with a fuel consumption of 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, making it particularly suitable for urban short trips or small cargo transport. If you want to save trouble, keep it at half a tank and refuel once to avoid overheating and damaging the fuel pump. At the same time, adjust your driving habits according to road conditions—lightly pressing the accelerator can extend the range. Remember, the tank size is designed to balance space and efficiency, so avoid unnecessary modifications and stick to the factory settings for reliability. Plan your trips wisely to avoid unnecessary detours, saving both fuel and money. In practical use, a tank that’s too small requires frequent refueling, while one that’s too large takes up trunk space—42 liters is the engineers’ calculated sweet spot.
