What is the fuel tank capacity of the Oshan X5?

Changan Oshan X5 has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Changan Oshan X5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Changan Oshan X5 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.0 to 6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 841 to 883 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level 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 on the dashboard typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is generally recommended 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 car 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 allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
51 liters is the standard fuel tank capacity, but many owners have measured that a full tank can reach around 53 liters. When I drove this car on long trips, I calculated that it can generally run about 500 kilometers in the city and around 650 kilometers on the highway. A reminder to everyone: don't wait until the last fuel bar to refuel, as the fuel pump can easily overheat. The fuel filler is located on the right rear side of the body, and you can unscrew the No. 9 fuel cap to fill up with 92-octane gasoline. The fuel tank is made of resin material, which is much more corrosion-resistant than iron.
The actual 51-liter fuel tank is generally sufficient, requiring refueling every two weeks for urban commuting. I remember when I first got the car and took a long-distance trip on the highway, filling up after the low fuel light came on only cost a little over 300 yuan. The fuel tank design is quite reasonable, with the fuel level sensor positioned towards the rear, preventing false alarms when parked on slopes. When refueling, pay attention to the minimum filling quantity specified in the manual. Additionally, this fuel tank has a vent valve, and you might hear venting sounds during hot summer days, which is completely normal and nothing to worry about.
The fuel tank capacity of the Oshan X5 is marked as 51 liters, but there is additional space from the tank opening to the fuel filler tube. Last time when the fuel gauge showed a red warning light and I went to refuel, the pump stopped at 52.7 liters. The attendant mentioned that new cars often have this characteristic. The fuel tank cap comes with an anti-theft lock, which can only be opened by pressing the central control unlock button after the engine is turned off. Important reminder for northern car owners: It's best to keep the fuel tank more than half full in winter to prevent fuel supply issues caused by freezing at the bottom of the tank.
