What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sail?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2018 Sail 3 1.3L Manual Comfort Sunroof version is 35L. It is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the 2021 Fit 1.5L CVT Trend version has a fuel tank capacity of 40L, and the 2022 Vios FS 1.5L CVT Sharp CARE version has a fuel tank capacity of 42L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
The fuel tank capacity of the Sail is approximately 42 liters. I've been driving this car for several years, mainly for commuting in the city. A full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, which is quite economical. With an average fuel consumption of 6L/100km, refueling once a week is sufficient for commuting, eliminating the worry of frequently searching for gas stations. Remember to use high-quality gasoline to avoid damaging the fuel pump with low-grade fuel. As the car ages, the fuel tank's sealing may deteriorate, so it's advisable to check for loose or leaking caps during maintenance. In summer, high temperatures can cause gasoline to evaporate, so saving money and ensuring safety is important. When you get a new car, avoid filling the tank to the brim immediately to allow for thermal expansion of the fuel. The Sail is overall economical and durable, with a fuel tank size that complements its fuel efficiency, making it convenient to plan refueling stops during road trips.
