What is the fuel tank capacity of the GL8 in liters?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the GL8 is 70 liters, as officially announced. GL8 owners can also verify this information on their vehicle's specification sheet. The GL8 requires 95-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 9.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank allows for a driving range of approximately 714 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 gauge accurately reflects the remaining fuel. 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 nominal tank capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal tank capacity.
