The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L is 66 liters. This data is officially published, and owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 8.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 785km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. 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 capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car 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 reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, 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 Mercedes-Benz GLC260L for a long time. With a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters and filled with 95-octane gasoline, it can easily cover 500-600 kilometers in city traffic jams. On highway cruising, the fuel consumption is even lower, allowing a full tank to effortlessly exceed 700 kilometers. As an experienced driver, I always remind myself not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as that can easily damage the fuel pump; also, don't overfill the tank to avoid expansion and overflow, which adds extra weight. Mercedes-Benz does well in this aspect, with a lightweight plastic fuel tank design and a magnetic fuel tank cap for convenience and speed. During regular maintenance, it's good to check if the fuel tank seal is intact to avoid trouble. Overall, the 60-liter capacity is more than sufficient for daily use and can handle long-distance trips as well.
