What is the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 301 in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 301 is 53 liters, which is the officially announced data. The recommended fuel grade for the Peugeot 301 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.1-7.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 688 to 869 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. 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. In the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving the Peugeot 301 to commute for quite some time now, and it comes with a standard 50-liter fuel tank. The tank isn't particularly large but is quite practical—a full tank gives me over 600 kilometers in the city, and it’s even more fuel-efficient on the highway, extending the range to around 700 kilometers. I typically only need to refuel once a week, which saves me frequent trips to the gas station and is both time-efficient and convenient. It’s important to regularly check the fuel cap’s seal to avoid leaks due to aging, especially in cold weather when issues are more likely to arise. Over time, I’ve found this tank capacity to be well-balanced—it doesn’t make the rear of the car too heavy, affecting handling, and is just right for daily family use, with no worries about refueling even on occasional trips.
