What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sail 1.4 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Sail-2013 Sedan 1.4L Manual Ideal Edition is 42L. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). It features front-engine, front-wheel drive configuration. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is 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, and the Toyota Vios FS-2022 1.5L CVT Sharp CARE Edition 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 marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated 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 (Empty) and F (Full). When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F indicates sufficient fuel.
My family drives a Chevrolet Sail 1.4, which has a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters and is quite practical. I drive it daily for commuting, covering both city roads and highways. A full tank usually lasts over 600 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of around 6L/100km. The car is designed to be fuel-efficient, costing just over 200 yuan to fill up, making it economical and easy to drive. I've noticed that fuel consumption increases slightly when using the air conditioning in summer, but it doesn't significantly affect the overall range. I recommend that owners develop the habit of regularly filling up the tank instead of waiting until it's empty, as this helps protect the fuel system and prolong the car's lifespan. Overall, the 42-liter capacity is quite suitable for daily commuting.
