What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Hongguang S1.2?
3 Answers
The 2021 Wuling Hongguang S1.5 has a total of 10 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The entire series is equipped with LSI engines and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), with all models featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2018 Foton Gratour ix5 1.2L Utility G03 has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the 2021 Wuling Hongguang V 1.5L Power Edition LAR has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. 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 limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I used to drive a Wuling Hongguang S1.2, which has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters - quite good for a small van. When driving in the city, I only needed to refuel once a week, with fuel consumption around 7 liters per 100 km, making it economical and worry-free. On highways, the range could reach about 700 km, making it suitable for family trips or small business cargo transport. Remember to keep the fuel level above one-quarter to avoid fuel pump damage; just use 92-octane gasoline, no need to spend extra on premium fuel. Regularly clean sediment from the fuel tank and inspect it every 20,000 km to extend its service life. After driving this vehicle for three years, I never encountered major issues - the fuel cap loosened a few times, but a simple tightening with a wrench fixed it easily.
As someone who loves checking car specifications, I know the Wuling Hongguang S1.2 has a 50-liter fuel tank design. Compared to other models like the Baojun 730's 55-liter or the Changan Oushang's 48-liter, it's mid-sized but quite practical. The fuel tank is made of engineering plastic, which is lightweight and durable, avoiding rust issues. The key factor affecting daily driving range is fuel consumption—this car averages around 7 liters per 100 km, and gentle driving can reduce it to 6 liters. High-speed driving increases wind resistance and burns fuel faster, so maintaining 60-80 km/h is recommended. Avoid modifying the fuel tank arbitrarily, as it may violate safety regulations and cause problems. Using an app to track fuel consumption can help identify optimization opportunities, such as maintaining proper tire pressure to reduce rolling resistance. Understanding these tips helps me drive more fuel-efficiently.
