What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jetta in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Jetta is 55 liters. Gasoline has the following three characteristics: 1. Evaporation: Gasoline must rapidly vaporize and form a uniform combustible mixture with air in the engine cylinder, which is primarily determined by the gasoline's own evaporation properties. The main indicators reflecting evaporation are distillation range and saturated vapor pressure. 2. Stability: The ability of gasoline to resist oxidation under normal temperature and liquid phase conditions is called the oxidation stability of gasoline. The indicators for evaluating gasoline stability include iodine value, actual gum, and induction period. 3. Anti-knock property: The property that measures whether a fuel is prone to knocking is called anti-knock property. The anti-knock property of gasoline is indicated by the octane number. The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock property. For hydrocarbons of the same family, those with fewer carbon atoms have better anti-knock properties and higher octane numbers.
I've been driving a Jetta for many years, and the fuel tank capacity is generally around 55 liters, which is sufficient for both highway driving and urban commuting. A full tank of 55 liters can cover approximately 500 to 600 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. For instance, I often take long-distance trips, and a full tank allows me to drive from Shanghai to Nanjing without stopping for refueling, which is convenient and effortless. When refueling, avoid filling the tank to the brim; leave some space to prevent fuel expansion and overflow due to temperature increases. Note that there might be slight variations in capacity between new and old vehicles, but the standard is 55 liters. During routine car washes or maintenance, take a moment to check the sealing ring of the fuel tank cap to prevent leaks, saving money and hassle while also extending the fuel tank's lifespan.
