What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sail 3?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Sail 3 is 35L-39L. Fuel tank capacity (L) refers to the size of the fuel tank, measuring a vehicle's ability to carry fuel. The fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the one with a larger fuel tank can travel farther. It is recommended to refuel when the fuel level is between 10%-30%. The fuel pump relies on the gasoline in the tank for cooling. Prolonged low fuel levels may cause the fuel pump to overheat, and low fuel levels can easily draw in impurities from the oil pan, leading to fuel line blockages. Additional tip: It is not advisable to fill the tank completely for city driving. When driving in the city, there is no need to fill the tank completely, as a full tank increases engine load and fuel consumption.
I often drive my Sail 3 to and from work. Its fuel tank capacity is 42 liters, and a full tank can last for 600 to 700 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. In city traffic, the fuel consumption is slightly higher, about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway it can drop to around 6 liters. I recommend checking the fuel tank cap seal before filling up, ensuring it's tightly closed to prevent dust from entering and affecting the fuel system. When washing the car, clean the fuel tank opening to avoid oil buildup. A smaller fuel tank isn't a big deal—the Sail 3 is economical and practical. Less frequent refueling saves time and money; I only need to fill up twice a month for daily use. Remember not to overfill when refueling—stop when the pump automatically shuts off to avoid waste and safety risks. Developing these habits will make driving more reassuring.
