What is the fuel tank capacity of the Epica in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Epica is 64 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Epica can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Epica requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.5 to 8.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 744 to 853 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through 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. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space left between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This extra 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 driven the Epica for several years, and its fuel tank has a capacity of around 65 liters. For daily city driving, a full tank lasts me about two weeks, which is quite convenient. On long trips, like from Guangzhou to Changsha, a full tank can cover nearly 650 kilometers, so I don't have to frequently stop for gas. However, it's important to make sure the fuel cap is tightly secured to avoid air leaks that could affect fuel efficiency. Also, during hot summer days, it's best not to fill the tank completely to prevent issues from fuel expansion due to heat. During regular maintenance, remind the technician to check for aging fuel tank lines to avoid unexpected breakdowns and extend the vehicle's lifespan. Overall, this tank capacity is very practical and perfectly meets my needs for both daily use and travel.
