What is the fuel tank capacity of the Geely Borui?

The fuel tank capacity of the Geely Borui is 70 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Geely Borui can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Geely Borui is 92, with a fuel consumption of 7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 959 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. Generally, this is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. 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 about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safe space. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
Last time I drove my friend's Borui on a long trip, I paid special attention to the fuel tank. This car's fuel tank is quite generous. The old model was labeled as 70 liters, but in reality, you could fill it up to around 73 liters before the pump clicked off, as the tank design had some extra space reserved. For the new model, I noticed the manual states it's exactly 70 liters, and the fuel filler neck has been redesigned, probably to prevent overfilling. Speaking of refueling, it's advisable not to force-fill it to the brim every time; stop when the pump clicks off to avoid gasoline fumes seeping into the cabin. The fuel tank capacity affects the range, and this car can cover over 700 kilometers on a highway cruise. Just pay attention to the pump's scale when refueling; overfilling isn't good for the charcoal canister either.
I've been driving the Borui for three years and have tested the fuel tank capacity multiple times. My 2018 model's manual states 70L, but once when the fuel gauge light came on, I filled it up to 59 liters before the pump stopped. Later, when I ran it completely empty, I was able to fill it up to 72 liters. The newer models are also labeled as 70L, but the actual capacity should consider the safety margin. The fuel tank design is influenced by the chassis layout, and the hybrid version has a battery taking up space, reducing the tank to about 50L. Don't blindly trust the maximum capacity when refueling; when the fuel gauge light comes on, there are still about seven to eight liters left, which is enough to find a gas station. Nowadays, fuel apps have recording functions, so you can figure out the actual capacity after a few refills.
