What is the fuel tank capacity of the Lamando in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Lamando is 50 liters. The fuel tank stores the working fluid required for the hydraulic system and also functions to dissipate heat, precipitate impurities, and separate air bubbles from the liquid. Fueling process for the Volkswagen Lamando: Press the left side of the fuel tank to open the fuel tank cap. Unscrew the fuel tank sealing cap counterclockwise. After removing the fuel tank sealing cap, place it on the fuel tank cover. Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler opening. Begin fueling. When the fuel nozzle cuts off for the first time, the tank is full. Continuing to fuel will fill the expansion chamber in the fuel tank. For safety, it is recommended to pull out the fuel nozzle after fueling and wait for 5 seconds at the fuel tank opening to allow any remaining fuel to drip into the tank. Tighten the fuel tank sealing cap until a click is heard. To close, press the left side of the fuel tank cap until a click is heard. Fueling precautions: For the Lamando series, it is recommended to use 95-octane premium unleaded gasoline, as leaded gasoline can easily damage the engine or fuel system, and may also affect the engine's power or even cause the engine to fail to operate.
I bought my Lamando L last year and specifically checked the manual. Its fuel tank is officially rated at 47 liters, which is quite spacious for a compact car. Once when the fuel light came on and I went to refuel, the most I could add was a bit over 44 liters, meaning there are still a few liters of reserve fuel left. A reminder: don’t wait too long after the light comes on to refuel, especially in summer when using the AC, as the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling and can easily get damaged. I make it a habit to refuel when a quarter tank is left—it’s better for the car and gives me peace of mind. Gas station attendants mentioned that the actual tank capacity is slightly larger than the rated size, but once the pump clicks off, don’t force more in. The fuel filler neck has a curved anti-spill design.
