What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Magotan is 66 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Magotan can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Magotan is 95, with a fuel consumption of 5.8 to 6.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 1000 to 1138 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing from the tank's safety space. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I drive a Volkswagen Magotan to work every day. With a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, a full tank can last over 700 kilometers, which is very convenient. My car is the 2019 model, with an average fuel consumption of about 8 liters, so I don't have to worry about running out of fuel even on long trips. On weekends, when I take my family out, I don't need to frequently look for gas stations, saving both time and effort. I've also learned a little trick: don't fill the tank to the brim, leaving some space to prevent overflow and damage to parts. Regularly check the seal of the fuel tank cap to avoid evaporation and wasting money on fuel. Overall, the 66-liter capacity is well-designed, suitable for city commuting and occasional long-distance travel.
