What is the fuel tank capacity of the Fiesta in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Fiesta is 42 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Fiesta can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Fiesta uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.5 to 6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 609 to 764 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space 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.
As a car enthusiast, I've studied the fuel tank design of compact cars like the Fiesta. Its capacity is typically around 42 liters. I've driven my friend's 2018 Fiesta, and the tank size is quite reasonably designed—neither too big nor too small, perfectly matched with its efficient engine. The modern Fiesta's 1.0T engine consumes about 6 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank theoretically allows a range of around 700 kilometers, which is very convenient for city commuting. The fuel tank is made of high-strength plastic, reducing vehicle weight while ensuring safety and corrosion resistance. If you drive an older Fiesta, such as pre-2009 models, the tank might be slightly smaller, ranging between 36-40 liters, depending on the trim. For daily use, I recommend not waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel—keeping it half-full can reduce pump wear and extend overall lifespan. In short, 42 liters strikes a good balance between space efficiency and practicality.
