What is the fuel tank capacity of the Chevrolet Epica?
2 Answers
The 2013 Chevrolet Epica 1.8SL Zhizhen MT has a fuel tank capacity of 64L. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. In the same class, the 2022 Besturn B70 2.0T Automatic Zhixiang has a fuel tank capacity of 50L, and the 2021 Yixuan MAX 1.5T Chaofan Mengba has a fuel tank capacity of 52L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is 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 allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be greater than the calibrated capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, the owner can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I've been driving a Chevrolet Epica for several years and remember its fuel tank capacity is 65 liters, which is quite practical. For daily commuting, the fuel consumption is around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank can last over 700 kilometers, meaning I only need to refuel once a week, saving the hassle of frequent gas station visits. During long trips, I don't have to worry about short range either—the fuel efficiency is even better on highways, allowing me to drive 600 kilometers without issues, making it safe and convenient. I recommend regular maintenance of the fuel tank and pipelines to prevent impurities from affecting fuel quality.
