What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Hongguang 1.2 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Hongguang-2020 1.2L S Basic Model (National VI LSI) is 50L. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain configuration is front-engine, rear-wheel drive. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is leaf spring non-independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the Dongfeng Xiaokang K05S-2019 1.2L Utility Model (National VI DK12) has a fuel tank capacity of 40L, while the Wuling Rongguang V-2019 1.2L Van Utility Model has a fuel tank capacity of 45L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit 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 refueled amount may be greater than the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F means the tank is nearly full.
I remember the Wuling Hongguang 1.2 has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. After driving this model for several years, I always make sure to refuel when there’s about a quarter left to avoid pump damage from running dry. A full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, with fuel consumption maintained at around 7-8 liters per 100 km, making it especially suitable for long-distance deliveries. For daily use, regular 92-octane gasoline at the station is sufficient—just avoid using the wrong grade to prevent engine wear. If you notice the fuel gauge is inaccurate, it might be a sensor issue; it’s advisable to have the mechanic inspect the entire fuel system during routine maintenance. Safety first—don’t skip these small details to save money. In winter, after a cold start, it’s best to let the engine warm up for a minute or two before turning on the lights to reduce battery strain.
