What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC300L in liters?
2 Answers
GLC300L has a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the GLC300L can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The GLC300L requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 956km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the remaining fuel. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled might exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's calibrated fuel tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled 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 GLC300L for almost two years now, and this car has a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. For my daily commute to work and weekend outings, I basically only need to refuel every two weeks. I've tested it on the highway—a full tank can easily cover over 700 kilometers without worrying about gas stations. Once, I drove with friends to Qinghai for a road trip, and even with long distances between gas stations, there was no panic. However, it's important not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel. Mercedes' fuel pump relies on being submerged in gasoline for cooling, and prolonged low fuel levels can easily cause it to burn out. Also, in northern winters, it's essential to use -35 diesel; don’t try to save money by mixing in 92 gasoline—if the engine warning light comes on, one repair could cost half a year's worth of fuel.
