Fast technology news on June 3, according to domestic media reports, a few days ago, a car owner reported that when his vehicle with a 45-liter fuel tank was refueled at a gas station, the fuel gauge showed that 55.11 liters of oil were added.

The owner of the car said that she had some fuel in her car at that time, and the fuel tank of the vehicle was marked with a capacity of 45 liters, but 55.11 liters of oil was added, so she questioned the metering of the gas station and called the police.

In response to this matter, the gas station responded that at that time, there were professional appraisal institutions such as the Public Security Bureau and the Technical Supervision Bureau and a third party to conduct on-site sampling inspections, inspect the lead seals and verification certificates of the fuel dispensers, as well as spot checks on the equipment, and the on-site sampling results were within the normal range.

In addition, the gas station also contacted the after-sales service 4S store of Buick and learned that 45 liters is actually the safe volume of the fuel tank, not the rated volume.

At the moment, the gas station is awaiting the results of further official investigations into the matter.

In fact, many car owners have encountered a similar situation when refueling every day, the actual number of refueling at the gas station exceeds the nominal fuel tank volume of the vehicle, and this is also related to the fuel tank of the car.

It is reported that the national standard "Safety Performance Requirements and Experimental Methods for Automobile Fuel Tank and Its Installation" stipulates that the rated capacity of automobile fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of the maximum liquid capacity.

As a result, automakers typically reserve 5%-10% of the capacity space for fuel tanks; For example, if you have a 50-liter fuel tank, you may actually refuel 55 liters or more.

Previously, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Supervision had specially tested this, and they selected 12 common cars on the market, and the test results showed that:

The fuel tank with a nominal volume of 50L is actually refueled 57.25L;

The fuel tank with a nominal volume of 55L has an actual refueling of 60.79L;

The fuel tank with a nominal volume of 72.5L is actually refueled with 77.5L;

However, in general, the actual refueling quantity will not exceed 10% of the nominal volume of the fuel tank, and the actual refueling quantity of the car owner above has far exceeded 10% of the nominal volume, and the specific reasons need to be officially announced for more information.
