The fuel tank capacity of the Jiangling Transvan is 68 liters. This data is officially released, and owners who have purchased the Jiangling Transvan can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Jiangling Transvan uses No. 0 diesel fuel, with a fuel consumption of 9.78L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 695km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually 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 calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified 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 designed to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
The fuel tank capacity of the JMC Transit is approximately 65 liters, based on my personal experience of driving it for several years. On long trips, a full tank can easily cover 500 to 600 kilometers, which is quite hassle-free. City driving might consume more fuel, but the overall range is sufficient, eliminating the need for daily gas station visits. As for refueling tips, I often fill up when the tank is down to a quarter to protect the fuel pump from overheating damage and avoid potential breakdowns. For long-distance driving, the size of the fuel tank directly impacts safety—too small a capacity would require frequent stops, affecting travel efficiency. Additionally, different driving habits, like sudden acceleration, can increase fuel consumption. However, the 65-liter setup strikes a good balance, offering strong practicality for daily use. For people like us who frequently travel for business, it significantly reduces the hassle of refueling.
