The fuel tank capacity of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is 58L, as officially announced. The Dongfeng Fengguang 580 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.8-7.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 763 to 853km. 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 fuel gauge accurately reflects the remaining fuel. 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. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and 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 marked tank capacity.
I've been driving my Dongfeng Fengguang 580 for almost two years now, and its fuel tank capacity is about 58 liters, which is quite reasonable among SUVs in its class. With a full tank, I can travel over 500 kilometers, making it especially suitable for weekend family trips and saving a lot of refueling time. For daily city commuting, I usually refuel every 7 to 10 days, and I make sure to choose gas stations with good reputations to avoid poor fuel quality affecting the engine. Fuel tank capacity is also related to fuel consumption; my car averages around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. I recommend that beginners consider the range issue more when buying a car, not just the appearance. During regular maintenance, checking whether the fuel pump and pipelines are corroded can prevent malfunctions and extend the service life.
