What is the fuel tank capacity of the Ford Focus in liters?
2 Answers
The Ford Focus has a total of 7 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. The vehicle's drivetrain is front-wheel drive, and the transmission options include a 6-speed manual transmission, 6-speed semi-automatic transmission, 8-speed semi-automatic transmission, and 8-speed automatic transmission. In the same vehicle class, the Peugeot 408 2020 230THP 10th Anniversary Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, while the Chevrolet Cavalier 2022 320 Manual Joyride Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 36 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel 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 safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is nearly depleted, while nearing F means the fuel level is sufficient.
I remember when I drove a Ford Focus, the fuel tank capacity was generally around 55 liters, depending on the model year and configuration. For example, the third-generation Focus typically had a 55-liter tank, while the fourth-generation might have reduced it to 52 liters, but the difference isn't significant. This capacity is quite practical for me—with an average fuel consumption of 7L/100km, a full tank can cover nearly 800 km, meaning just one refill per week for city commuting. I recommend checking the vehicle manual for confirmation, as some modified or special editions might differ. A quick tip: when filling up, avoid exceeding the maximum limit to prevent affecting the carbon canister's function. Also, regularly inspect the fuel tank sealing ring during maintenance to avoid leaks or rust. When choosing a gas station, prioritize major brands, as fuel quality impacts overall performance. Overall, the 55-liter tank design makes the Focus an economical family sedan, ensuring a more worry-free driving experience.
