What is the fuel tank capacity of the old Bora in liters?
2 Answers
The 2020 old Bora comes in 10 models with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, all models feature a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), 6-speed automatic manual transmission (AT), and 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Civic has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters, the 2021 Xingrui has a 50-liter fuel tank, and the 2021 Corolla also has a 50-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automobile manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety boundary, and there is still a certain space from the safety boundary to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount will be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel in the tank, they can observe the gasoline gauge on the right side of the fuel gauge panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel is sufficient.
I remember those years driving the old Bora, its fuel tank capacity was around 55 liters. I tested that a full tank could run 550 to 600 kilometers, depending on driving habits and road conditions. This size was quite practical for our daily commute, and we didn't need to worry too much about range on long highway trips, with an average fuel consumption of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers—both hassle-free and cost-effective. The fuel tank was designed at the bottom rear of the car. When refueling, I made it a habit to stop at the first click of the nozzle, avoiding overfilling to prevent spillage and damage to the fuel pump. The fuel cap on older cars often rusted or deteriorated, so I checked its seal periodically to avoid leaks or safety hazards. I also paid attention to fuel quality, avoiding small gas stations with substandard fuel to keep the tank clean and extend its lifespan. Overall, this capacity was very suitable for family use, making trip planning convenient.
