What is the typical fuel tank capacity for family cars?
1 Answers
For family cars, the fuel tank capacity is generally 35-45 liters for compact vehicles and around 55-75 liters for mid-size vehicles. Below are specific details about automobile fuel tank capacities: 1. Fuel gauge indicators: The dashboard fuel gauge typically has 5-6 segments, with each segment representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. Generally, when only two segments remain, it's time to refuel. 2. Measurement units: The international standard uses liters (L) as the unit for measuring automobile fuel tank capacity, with different countries having their own corresponding standards. 3. Relationship between engine displacement and tank volume: Typically, compact cars have 35-45 liter tanks while mid-size vehicles have approximately 55-75 liter tanks. A full tank usually allows for about 500 kilometers of driving. Lighter vehicles with smaller engine displacements tend to have proportionally smaller fuel tanks, while heavier vehicles with larger displacements have correspondingly larger fuel tanks.
