What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang?

The 2021 Wuling Rongguang comes in 9 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. All models are equipped with an L3C engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), and feature a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. In the same vehicle class, the 2019 Wuling Rongguang V 1.2L van utility model has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The 2021 Youyou 1.2L value model has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, with additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel amount 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 (empty) and F (full). When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, and near F, it means the tank is sufficiently filled.
I've been using the Wuling Rongguang for delivery for several years. The standard fuel tank capacity is 45 liters, and a full tank can last over 600 kilometers. For urban deliveries, the average fuel consumption is 7 liters per 100 kilometers, but it can go up to 8 liters when stuck in traffic or using air conditioning. Filling up the tank costs around 300 yuan, which is quite economical for someone like me who drives 150 kilometers daily—no need to refuel every day. The fuel tank is made of plastic, offering decent corrosion resistance, but I regularly check the fuel cap to prevent dust from clogging the fuel pump. On highways for long trips, it’s even more fuel-efficient, with a full tank capable of reaching 700 kilometers—very practical. When the fuel gauge drops below one bar, I refuel immediately to protect the fuel pump's lifespan. The newer version of the Wuling Rongguang has a similar fuel tank capacity, while the older model holds 45 liters. Overall, the design is very user-friendly for commercial vehicle owners.
As an automotive enthusiast, I'm very familiar with the details of the Wuling Rongguang. Its fuel tank has a designed capacity of 45 liters. Wuling vehicles are highly practical among microvans, using high-density plastic materials with excellent leak-proof performance. The 45-liter capacity provides decent range under normal fuel consumption, averaging 7L/100km, allowing about 650 kilometers on a full tank. Compared to Changan Star's 40-liter tank, this slight advantage offers more peace of mind for long trips. During routine maintenance, I always check the fuel tank sealing ring to prevent aging and oil leaks. The fuel pump is positioned low under the chassis, requiring regular cleaning to prevent clogging. When refueling, avoid filling to maximum capacity to leave room for thermal expansion. Although the Wuling Rongguang's fuel tank isn't large, it offers economical performance for daily driving.
