What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jimny?

The fuel tank capacity of the Jimny is 40 liters, and it requires 92-octane or higher unleaded gasoline. The Jimny is a compact SUV under the Suzuki brand, with dimensions of 3695 mm in length, 1600 mm in width, and 1705 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2250 mm. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is full. Maintenance tips for the fuel tank include: Draining accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and checking for leaks at fuel line connections and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air and vapor valves, ensure the vent holes are clear. The fuel filler inlet screen should be intact to prevent debris from entering the tank and clogging the fuel lines during refueling. The sealing ring on the fuel filler cap should also be in good condition to prevent fuel spillage while driving.
My Jimny is the fourth-generation model with a 40-liter fuel tank capacity. This size means I have to visit gas stations frequently, especially noticeable during long-distance trips. On highway cruising, it consumes around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing a range of just over 500 kilometers. Off-roading consumes more fuel; last time in mountainous areas, it used 12 liters per 100 kilometers, and the fuel light came on after just over 300 kilometers. I recommend off-road enthusiasts to carry a 20-liter fuel canister—it's easy to install a canister mount on the modified rear bumper. For regular commuting, the 40-liter tank is sufficient; I typically refuel once a week, adding about 30 liters each time to avoid overloading the fuel pump. The Jimny's fuel tank is designed in the middle of the chassis, so be careful not to let the fuel nozzle touch the carbon canister lines when refueling.
