What is the fuel tank capacity of the Chery E3 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Chery E3 2015 1.5L Manual Fun Edition is 42L. 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 type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the Baojun 310 2020 1.2L Manual Value Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 30L, while the Kia Pegas 2020 1.4L Automatic Comfort Sunroof Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 43L. 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, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to 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 calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it indicates a sufficient fuel level.
I've been driving the Chery E3 for over three years, and the official fuel tank capacity is 42 liters. For daily commuting, a full tank shows over 500 kilometers on the dashboard, but in actual city driving conditions, I need to refuel after about 400 kilometers. I have a habit of refueling when the fuel warning light comes on to save time and effort, but I don't delay too long to avoid damaging the fuel pump. The fuel filler is on the left rear side and is operated with a mechanical key, which isn't as convenient as an electronic button but is less prone to failure. Once on a long trip, I refueled when I had half a tank left at a service area, and found that the pump stopped at 38 liters, indicating a reasonable fuel reserve design. Overall, the 42-liter capacity is quite economical and fully sufficient for regular household use.
