What is the general fuel tank capacity of a car?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity generally refers to the maximum fuel tank capacity announced by the automobile manufacturer. Typically, the fuel tank capacity of family cars ranges between 35-55 liters, while that of mid-size sedans and mid-size SUVs is usually between 55-70 liters. Large SUVs can have fuel tank capacities of up to 100 liters. Below is more information about car fuel tank capacities: 1. The actual fuel tank capacity is larger than the nominal capacity. According to fuel safety regulations, the national standard stipulates that the nominal capacity of a car's fuel tank is 95% of the rated capacity. Therefore, when filling up, the fuel quantity can exceed the nominal capacity by 10%. 2. The fuel tank requires regular cleaning. It is advisable to clean and maintain the fuel system when the vehicle mileage reaches 30,000 or 40,000 kilometers. This is because the fuel tank has exhaust vents and fuel lines connecting to the carbon canister. If not cleaned for a long time, it can easily lead to fuel line blockages.
