What is the fuel tank capacity of the Crown?
2 Answers
The Crown has a total of 50 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The vehicles are equipped with either a 2.5L 193 horsepower V6 engine or a 2.0T 235 horsepower L4 engine, paired with either an 8-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. 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, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
The Crown's fuel tank capacity is generally around 65 liters, depending on the specific model and year. For instance, the latest Toyota Crown sedan has this capacity. I believe the tank size directly impacts the driving range—on the highway, 65 liters can easily support over 600 kilometers, making it quite economical. For daily use, I recommend using 92-octane gasoline; there's no need to waste money on higher-grade fuel. Also, a reminder: since the fuel pump operates at the bottom of the tank, frequently waiting until the fuel light comes on can wear out components. That's why I usually refuel when a quarter of the tank remains. Don’t fill the tank to the brim—leave some space to prevent overflow from thermal expansion. Proper maintenance can significantly extend the tank's lifespan. Driving such a car is about practicality—large capacity means convenience, but don’t overlook fuel consumption monitoring.
