What is the typical fuel tank capacity of an SUV?
1 Answers
Generally, the fuel tank capacity of an SUV ranges between 50 to 100 liters. There is a significant variation in SUV fuel tank sizes, with smaller SUVs typically having around a 50-liter tank, while a few larger SUVs may exceed 100 liters. The fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. In reality, there is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the manufacturer's specified tank capacity. Various factors such as sediment buildup, rust, and deformation inside the tank can also affect its actual capacity.
