What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling New Truck in liters?
2 Answers
The 2021 Wuling New Truck comes in 16 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The entire lineup is equipped with the LJ479Q6 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), with all models featuring a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. In the same vehicle class, the Chenggong K3-2020-1.5L single-row truck has a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, while the Changan Shenqi T20-2021-1.5L-Wealth Edition has a capacity of 40 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 level. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the pointer is near 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
I've been driving the Wuling New Truck for a long time to transport goods, with a standard fuel tank capacity of about 48 liters. A full tank can run 450 to 500 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of about 10 liters per 100 kilometers. The range is shorter in the city with many traffic lights, but it can go further on the highway. It's recommended not to wait until the fuel gauge turns red to refuel; keeping some reserve protects the fuel pump. Refueling once a week saves money and provides peace of mind, and choosing to refuel in the early morning or late evening when the oil temperature is low and the density is high is more cost-effective. Before a long trip, it's essential to fill up to avoid wasting time stopping midway. The moderate fuel tank capacity of this truck is quite suitable for small businesses doing short-distance deliveries.
