There are a total of 15 models of Chery E5, classified as compact cars, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. They are equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5L 109-horsepower L4 and a 1.8L 132-horsepower L4. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a CVT continuously variable transmission, with a naturally aspirated intake form. The trunk volume is 485 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safe space. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. The of the fuel tank is as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, also check whether the vent holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler should be kept intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from overflowing from the tank while driving.

















Driving the Chery E5 on the highway is my routine, and its 50-liter fuel tank design is quite practical. When traveling long distances, a full tank can basically cover over 600 kilometers, which is just enough for my weekly cross-city commute. The fuel filler neck of this car is relatively large, and filling up with 92-octane gasoline at the gas station costs just over 300 yuan. However, it's important to remind you not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel; your trip in advance is crucial. I make it a habit to refuel when there's a quarter of the tank left, which helps protect the fuel pump from damage. Additionally, the fuel tank is made of engineering plastic, which is safer than the older iron tanks and less likely to catch fire in the event of a collision.

As a salesperson frequently dealing with Chery models, the E5's 50-liter fuel tank is considered above average in its class. It's slightly larger than the previous A5's 48-liter tank, which is sufficient for daily family use. For city commuting, it consumes around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can last about three weeks for work commutes. When refueling, it's advisable not to fill it to the brim; stop when the pump clicks off to avoid damaging the fuel level sensor. Pay attention to keeping the small hole on the fuel tank cap clean—if it gets clogged, the fuel system may trigger a warning. For users in northern regions, it's recommended to switch to -35 diesel in winter to prevent freezing.

I've been commuting with the E5 for two years, and the 50-liter fuel tank is very worry-free. I drive 40 kilometers daily, and a full tank lasts me 20 days. The rotating fuel cap design is great—no need to turn a key. Don't wait for the low fuel light; refuel when it's down to 1/4. Plastic fuel tanks are lighter than steel ones and also rust-proof.

With over a decade of car repair experience, I've seen plenty of Chery E5's 50-liter fuel tanks. The tank is positioned in the middle of the chassis, with a reasonable design that prevents scraping. Develop good refueling habits: fuel up in the morning for accurate measurements; avoid mixing fuels from different stations; clean the inner side of the fuel filler neck with alcohol wipes every six months to remove sludge; replace the fuel cap seal promptly if it shows signs of aging. Plastic fuel tanks are safer than metal ones, but avoid using low-quality fuel, as impurities can clog the filter screen.

After studying the Chery E5 specifications, the 50L fuel tank paired with a 1.5L engine is scientifically sound. It consumes 8.2L per 100km in urban conditions and only 6.9L on highways, theoretically achieving over 700km of range. The fuel tank capacity is indicated on the driver's door frame nameplate—do not exceed this limit when refueling. The fuel filler cap features an ingenious anti-theft design requiring key unlocking. It's recommended to use Sinopec 95-octane gasoline for more complete combustion and extended fuel pump life. During each service, ensure the technician checks the fuel tank ventilation valve for proper operation.
