What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sail 1.2 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Sail-2013 Sedan 1.2L Manual Warm Edition is 42L. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). It features front-wheel drive, with front suspension being MacPherson independent suspension and rear suspension using a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the Honda Fit-2021 1.5L CVT Trend Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 40L, while the Vios FS-2022 1.5L CVT Sharp Care Edition has a 42L fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because automakers measure tank capacity from the bottom to the safety limit, leaving space between the safety limit and the tank opening. This design ensures fuel expansion at higher temperatures without overflow. Filling to the tank opening may result in exceeding the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard marked with E (empty) and F (full). When the needle approaches E, fuel is low; near F indicates sufficient fuel levels.
The fuel tank capacity of the Sail 1.2 is approximately 42 liters. I use it for my daily commute and find this size just right—a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, with fuel consumption averaging around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Unlike some larger vehicles that require frequent gas station visits, it's hassle-free and convenient. For long-distance trips, the fuel tank isn't an issue, but it's advisable to regularly inspect the fuel lines to prevent performance issues from sediment buildup. After driving this model for a while, I've found the tank design to be very practical, with durable materials and simple maintenance, making it ideal for daily commuting. With good driving habits, such as smooth acceleration, you can even extend the driving range further.
