What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sail 1.2 in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Sail 1.2 is 42L. The fuel consumption of the vehicle is closely related to the driving habits of the driver and the maintenance cycle. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank: If the fuel tank is overfilled, gasoline may overflow through the vent hole, which can cause spontaneous combustion upon contact with an open flame, leading to unimaginable consequences. Additionally, gasoline overflowing through the vent hole can drip onto the car body, causing certain corrosion. Avoid refueling only when the fuel light is on: While driving, it is essential to always pay attention to the fuel gauge. When the pointer indicates that only a quarter of the fuel remains, it is time to refuel. Frequently waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel can prevent the fuel pump from receiving proper lubrication and cooling, ultimately reducing the lifespan of the fuel pump. Choose the right time to refuel: Avoid refueling at noon due to thermal expansion and contraction. The volume of gasoline increases with rising temperatures and decreases when temperatures drop. To save fuel, it is best to refuel in the morning or evening whenever possible.
I used to drive a Chevrolet Sail 1.2, which had a fuel tank capacity of about 35 liters. For city driving, the average fuel consumption was around 6L/100km, so a full tank could last approximately 580 kilometers. For daily commuting, refueling every two weeks was sufficient, which was quite hassle-free. Some friends thought a smaller tank meant more frequent refueling, but I found 35 liters just right for a compact car. With gas stations everywhere, it was easy to fill up without wasting time. On highways, the range was even longer, and using eco-mode could extend the distance further. With regular maintenance, I never encountered fuel leakage issues. It's advisable to keep the tank at least half full to prevent fuel pump aging.
