What is the fuel tank capacity of the Roewe 550 in liters?
2 Answers
Roewe 550-2014 550S 1.8L Manual ZhiXuan Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 62L. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain configuration is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension type is MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension features a multi-link independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the LingShang-2021 2.0L Luxury Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because automakers specify tank capacity from the tank bottom to the safe fill level, leaving additional space between the safe fill level 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 during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the nominal tank capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel level, while proximity to F signifies sufficient fuel.
I used to pay special attention to the fuel tank issue when driving my Roewe 550 on long trips. The standard capacity of this car's fuel tank is 62 liters, and a full tank can last just over 600 kilometers on the highway. However, when refueling, it's best not to wait until the fuel light comes on, as the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling and can easily get damaged. For city driving, 62 liters is actually quite durable; last time I filled up, it lasted me almost half a month. It's advisable not to fill the tank to the brim; leave some space for gasoline evaporation, as a clogged carbon canister on the fuel tank cap can be troublesome to repair. For regular refueling, it's best to stick with major brands like Sinopec, which is better for small-displacement turbocharged engines.
