Wuling Rongguang-2020 1.2LS Basic Model National VI has a fuel tank capacity of 45L. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drive type is mid-engine, rear-wheel drive. The front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is longitudinal leaf spring. In the same vehicle class, the Youyou-2021 1.2L Value Extended Blind Window Cargo 2-Seater LJ469Q-AEB has a fuel tank capacity of 40L, while the Wuling Rongguang-2021 1.5L Extended Basic Model L3C also 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 marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, the owner can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
As a long-time Wuling Rongguang driver, I've found that the 1.2L version has a fuel tank capacity of about 45 liters, but can actually hold around 47 liters when completely filled, depending on the fuel pump's accuracy. For daily urban deliveries, a full tank lasts me over 600 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of 7L/100km. On long highway trips, it's even more economical, reaching over 500 kilometers. Through experience, I've learned not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refill, as it can damage the fuel pump. Using 92-octane gasoline offers the best cost-performance ratio, and avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. The fuel tank is positioned low, so be cautious of potholes when parking. Cleaning the filter every six months can extend its lifespan. It's economical, practical, and durable, making it worry-free for both commuting and cargo transport.
From a maintenance perspective, the Wuling Rongguang 1.2 has a standard fuel tank capacity of 45 liters with sturdy, rust-proof materials. Common issues include fuel line blockages or sensor malfunctions leading to inaccurate fuel readings. I recommend checking seals during every 5,000 km service and keeping the tank clean for fuel efficiency. Average fuel consumption is 7.2L/100km, with a full tank providing approximately 620 km of range. Driving habits matter—avoid sudden acceleration/deceleration to protect the fuel pump. If experiencing hard starts after refueling, try cleaning carbon deposits at the filler neck. The new model's fuel tank has good anti-theft security, eliminating the need for modifications.
