What is the full tank capacity of the Elantra Langdong in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Elantra Langdong is 50 liters, as officially announced. The Elantra Langdong uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.2 to 7.0L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 714 to 806 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In 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 safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level 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 tank capacity.
The Elantra's fuel tank capacity is around 50 liters when full. I've been driving my Elantra for almost two years and confirmed this number from the user manual. When refueling, I prefer to go to the gas station when the fuel gauge is nearly empty, and a full tank can hold 50 liters of gasoline. In practice, I always recommend stopping at the pump's automatic shut-off to avoid overfilling, which can cause fuel expansion or leakage. In city driving, the average fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank can easily cover 550 kilometers. It's even more fuel-efficient on long highway trips. Remember not to fill the tank completely in summer, as high temperatures can cause fuel to evaporate into the charcoal canister, which is harmful to the car. Overall, this tank size is quite suitable for commuting, reducing frequent trips to the gas station. Just develop a habit of regular checks and don't wait until the fuel light comes on to panic.
