What is the fuel tank capacity of the Django?
2 Answers
The Django has a fuel tank capacity of 8.5L, as officially announced. The Django uses 92-octane gasoline with a fuel consumption of 3.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 242km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In practice, the actual amount of fuel filled may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe level and the tank opening. This extra space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the marked capacity.
I've been riding the Peugeot Django for several years. This motorcycle has a fuel tank capacity of about 8 liters, and a full tank can last over 200 kilometers for urban commuting, making it very fuel-efficient and practical. I remember on my last long-distance trip, the average fuel consumption was around 2.5L per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical. It's recommended to use 97-octane gasoline to maintain quality and prevent impurities from clogging the fuel lines. Always tighten the fuel cap to avoid dust, and don't overlook simple daily maintenance like checking the fuel gauge. For beginners, the 8-liter design is not bulky, offering stable riding balance. For long trips, carrying a small spare fuel tank provides extra peace of mind, though it's absolutely sufficient for city use. After riding for a while, I find this capacity just right—saving money while enhancing riding comfort. Minor modifications to improve fuel efficiency are also easy to make. In short, don't let the tank run empty; developing a habit of regular refueling can extend engine life.
