What is the fuel tank capacity of the Hongyan Jieshi 350?

The Hongyan Jieshi 350 comes in 2 models, both with a fuel tank capacity of 35 liters. The vehicle is equipped with either a 2.0L 173 horsepower L4 engine or a 2.5L 207 horsepower L4 engine, paired with three types of transmissions: CVT continuously variable transmission, 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and E-CVT continuously variable transmission. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. 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 designed 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 amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the fuel level is sufficient.
Regarding the fuel tank capacity of the Hongyan Genlyon 350, I understand it's typically around 400 liters. Having driven trucks for most of my life, a larger fuel tank is beneficial—it means fewer stops for refueling on long hauls, which is more convenient. Back when I was young and working in freight transport, fuel tank size directly impacted efficiency. For instance, a full tank could give a range of over 1,300 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of around 30 liters per 100 kilometers. In daily use, regularly checking the fuel gauge to avoid breakdowns is crucial, especially on mountain roads or in remote areas. While a larger truck fuel tank means higher refueling costs, it saves money overall by reducing the number of stops. Additionally, fuel tanks are usually made of steel plates, making them more durable and leak-proof. Overall, this capacity design is quite reasonable, optimized for logistics needs.
