Where is the fuel tank located on the Buick Excelle GT?

The fuel tank release of the Buick Excelle GT is integrated with the door locks. The Excelle GT does not have an internal fuel cap release mechanism. When the doors are unlocked, pressing the fuel cap will cause it to pop open. Here are some important refueling precautions: 1. Try not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling. Since the fuel pump is located inside the tank, it generates considerable heat during continuous operation and relies on immersion in fuel for proper cooling. When the warning light activates, it indicates the fuel level has dropped below the pump. Consistently waiting until this point to refuel will shorten the fuel pump's service life. Extremely low fuel levels or complete depletion may even cause pump failure. 2. Avoid refueling at small, independent gas stations. Fuel quality directly affects carbon buildup on fuel injectors, and poor-quality fuel frequently leads to clogging issues. 3. Always refuel at established stations, preferably at Sinopec or PetroChina's star-rated stations where fuel quality is guaranteed.
I remember the fuel filler cap of the Buick Excelle GT is located at the left rear of the vehicle, near the rear wheel. As someone who has driven older cars for many years, I suggest you simply walk to the rear of the car when refueling and look for the small round cover with a door flap, usually on the left side. Don’t worry, most cars are designed this way for the convenience of the driver when opening the cap. Before refueling, it’s best to check if the fuel cap is tight—if it’s loose, it may cause fuel leakage, affecting safety. The fuel tank capacity of the Buick Excelle GT is approximately 50-55 liters, so be careful not to overfill it; leave some space to prevent spillage. In case you run out of fuel on a long trip, knowing the location can help you handle it quickly and avoid trouble. Nowadays, fuel tank placements are standardized, but it’s still important to have a technician inspect the fuel system during regular maintenance to prevent corrosion or other minor issues.
