What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Zhiguang minivan?

The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Zhiguang minivan is 38 liters. This data is officially released, and owners who have purchased the Wuling Zhiguang minivan can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Wuling Zhiguang minivan is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.0-6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 603-633 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
I've been using the Wuling Zhiguang minivan for cargo transport for almost three years. The fuel tank capacity is about 40 liters. When filled with 92-octane gasoline, it typically runs for over 350 kilometers in the city, while on the highway with lower fuel consumption, it can last around 450 kilometers. The fuel consumption is roughly 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, varying with load and road conditions; it's more fuel-efficient when empty and consumes more when fully loaded. Money-saving tip: Don't fill the tank to the brim every time, leaving some space reduces weight and saves fuel; check the fuel pump and filter every three months to avoid clogging the fuel line and affecting mileage. Once, I broke down halfway because the fuel gauge was inaccurate, and it was fixed after replacing the sensor. Before long trips, always check the distribution of gas stations, as 92-octane fuel is hard to find in remote areas—carrying a small spare can is an option but not safe. The compact design of the small fuel tank is perfect for practical drivers like us who are always on the road.
I bought a Wuling Sunshine last year, and when choosing the car, I checked the data showing a fuel tank capacity of around 40 liters. In actual use, it feels sufficient for daily needs. A full tank costs a bit over 180 yuan, giving a range of 300-400 kilometers, so I only need to refuel once a week for commuting. It's worry-free to drive, but when the fuel gauge hits the warning line, I have to refuel promptly to avoid the embarrassment of pushing the car. To save money, I often drive in eco mode and accelerate gently; in hot weather, I use the AC sparingly, which can save half a liter of fuel. I've also tried inflating the tires to reduce resistance, with good results. The maintenance manual recommends changing the fuel filter every six months, which I do on time to extend the engine's lifespan. As a new car owner, the small tank has taught me to plan trips, like checking routes and gas stations before outings to avoid being stranded. Overall, it's a great car for young people to tinker with.
