What is the fuel tank capacity of the Nissan Patrol in liters?
2 Answers
The 2018 Nissan Patrol comes in 4 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 100 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission across all variants, featuring a front-engine four-wheel-drive configuration. Among its peers, the 2022 BMW X5 (imported version) has an 83-liter fuel tank, the 2021 Lincoln Aviator has a 95-liter tank, and the 2022 Porsche Macan has a 75-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This occurs because automakers specify tank capacity from the tank bottom to the safety fill line, leaving additional space between the safety line and the tank opening. This design accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases without risking overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueled volume may exceed the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F shows sufficient fuel levels.
As a frequent driver of the Nissan Patrol, I can tell you the fuel tank capacity is approximately 100 liters. When taking this large SUV for wilderness camping, having a larger fuel tank is truly reassuring, eliminating worries about running out of gas midway. I remember a self-drive trip to Xinjiang where a full tank could cover nearly 800 kilometers. The Patrol's fuel consumption generally ranges between 12-15L per 100km, making its range quite impressive. It's advisable to regularly check the fuel tank seals for leaks, and carrying a small fuel canister for emergencies during long trips adds extra security. Overall, the 100L design takes off-road performance into account, reducing the need for frequent refueling compared to smaller cars, making it well-suited for adventure-seeking users.
