The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz V260 is 70 liters. This data is officially published, and owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz V260 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz V260 is 95. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 9.1L, and a full tank can cover a distance of 769km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. Generally, this is 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 on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel 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 safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel inside the tank can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. 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 using the Mercedes-Benz V260 for long-distance cargo hauling, and its 75-liter fuel tank is quite sufficient for me. A full tank typically lasts around 650-700 kilometers without issues. The fuel consumption is about 11L/100km in the city and drops to just over 8L on the highway. I make it a habit to refuel when the gauge shows one-quarter remaining, avoiding the panic of waiting for the low-fuel warning light. The well-designed tank capacity, combined with the rear-wheel-drive system, ensures safety even under heavy loads. Regular maintenance checks on the fuel pump and pipelines help prevent clogging from impurities, extending the vehicle's lifespan and saving on fuel costs. For business trips or family outings, this large fuel tank significantly reduces hassle by minimizing the need for mid-journey stops.
