What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is 100 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz G-Class can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 15.7 to 21.0 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 476 to 637 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving the G-Class for two years now, with a fuel tank capacity of around 100 liters, which is quite convenient for daily use. During traffic jams on the way to and from work, the fuel consumption can reach 20L/100km, and a full tank can last three to four days without a problem; on the highway, it's much more economical, easily covering over 500 kilometers, reducing the frequency of refueling. When refueling, it's important to pay attention to the fuel prices, as filling up the tank can cost several hundred yuan each time, but in the long run, it reduces the hassle of frequent stops. Maintenance requires careful attention to fuel quality to avoid clogging the system, and regularly cleaning the fuel tank filter is a good habit. The extended range makes traveling more comfortable, but when buying a used car, it's crucial to check if the fuel tank has been modified, as this can affect the capacity, with older models possibly having slightly smaller tanks.
