The fuel tank capacity of the Emgrand GL is 55 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Emgrand GL can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Emgrand GL requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.9 to 6.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 902 to 932 kilometers. 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 level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. 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 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 may exceed the marked tank capacity.
The fuel tank capacity of the Geely Emgrand GL is 55 liters. When I used to drive this car, a full tank was enough for me to make a round trip of about 400 kilometers from the city to the suburbs, and on long highway journeys, I could even drive an extra 100-200 kilometers, which was quite practical. When refueling, I usually fill up the tank when there's one bar left on the fuel gauge. On average, each liter of fuel allows me to drive about 10 kilometers, though this might drop to 8-9 kilometers in city traffic jams. Regularly checking the fuel filter and the fuel tank cap seal is crucial to prevent fuel leaks or the intake of impurities. The Emgrand GL's overall fuel consumption is quite friendly, and the 55-liter design strikes a good balance between range and vehicle weight, which is consistent with other models in the Emgrand series like the GS. When changing the engine oil, I also take the opportunity to check the fuel pump's condition to avoid any mid-journey breakdowns.
The 55-liter fuel tank of the Emgrand GL is sufficient for my needs. A full tank costs less than 400 yuan, saving me the hassle of frequent trips to the gas station, especially during peak hours when waiting in line is time-consuming. My daily commute is about 15 kilometers one way, so I only need to refuel once a week. The combined fuel consumption is around 8L/100km, which translates to a monthly fuel cost of about 500-600 yuan—not expensive at all. I recommend paying attention to the quality of the gas station and using regular 95-octane fuel to extend the engine's lifespan. Occasionally cleaning the fuel tank can also prevent carbon buildup. Models in the Emgrand family, like the S1, have slightly smaller fuel tanks, but the GL's capacity is just right for daily driving. Maintaining proper tire pressure can also improve fuel efficiency.
