What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz V260L?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz V260L is 70 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz V260L can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz V260L is 95, with a fuel consumption of 11.7 to 13.4 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 522 to 598 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. 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 only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automobile manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the marked fuel tank capacity.
I recently bought a Mercedes-Benz V260L, and I feel the fuel tank capacity is quite crucial—it's 70 liters. This is very important for families like ours who often take long-distance trips. Driving it for travel, a full tank can cover about 700 to 800 kilometers, so we don’t need to refuel frequently. For daily commutes, refueling once every two weeks is usually enough, saving a lot of time. However, fuel consumption needs attention—it burns faster in city traffic but is more efficient in suburban areas. When choosing a car, I compared it with the Honda Odyssey, which only has a 55-liter tank, offering much shorter range, so the Mercedes clearly has an advantage here. Also, a reminder to everyone: don’t neglect fuel tank cleanliness, as poor-quality gas stations can lead to carbon buildup. Overall, the 70-liter capacity gives me a lot of peace of mind, especially during holidays when driving back to my hometown.
