What is the general size of a 600-liter fuel tank?
1 Answers
A 600-liter fuel tank generally measures 1300×700×700mm. Marked capacity refers to safe capacity: Most fuel tanks indicate a safe capacity, which is typically about 10% less than the actual capacity. During the design of fuel tanks, consideration is given to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of fuel. To ensure driving safety, when filling up to the rated volume, a certain amount of space must be left inside the tank to prevent excessive internal pressure. Overfilling can damage the carbon canister, while underfilling leaves too much empty space, causing fuel to evaporate and be lost as vapor. Fuel gauge cannot accurately reflect remaining fuel: You cannot rely solely on the fuel gauge on the car dashboard to determine the exact amount of fuel remaining; it provides only a qualitative indication rather than a quantitative measurement. Additionally, you cannot judge fuel consumption based solely on the relationship between the amount of fuel added and the distance traveled, as factors such as road conditions, speed, traffic congestion, air conditioning usage, vehicle load, fuel line leaks, and fuel quality can all directly affect fuel consumption.
