Smart Fourtwo fuel tank capacity ?

[Evilution]

Its 33 ltrs or 7.25 gallons .

I have run mine to near empty and got 35.5 litres in it so I think the tank and the measurable fuel level is 33 litres but you can get a bit more in the filler neck.

Regarding your issue with not being able to fit any more fuel in the car when its complaining that its only got 5litres left and then finding that it will only take 9-8 litres less than the 33litres is like my petrol 450. I get 160 miles out of 12 litres on a 22litre tank and it wont take anymore than 12litres. It seems the level sensor is either faulty or they arent calibrated very well or indeed dont sense very well after a while. I tells fibs to me because it comes up saying theres only 5 litres left and it drops down to 3.5 litres. I switch off the car and come back a little later and then Ive still got 5 litres left lol When I actually bother to fill it up it will only take 13-14 litres so theres still supposedly another 8litres left in it! Frustrating or what! Like the 22litre tank isnt small enough! lol

Like pretty much every car on the market - the smart fuel display is calibrated so you should never run out.

Seriously, pretty much every smart on the road has about 3-4 litres of fuel left when it displays "0" litres remaining.

Try some different fuels - my cdi likes Shell (regular diesel) or Sainsburys.

Generally their is little difference because they all come from the Bunsfield depot in Hemel Hempstead in my area but, my older Fiat diesel hated the Sainsburys city diesel, it drove like the turbo had fallen off !

Thats good to know thanks! So I can at least run it to 1 litre. I get paranoid and head to the nearest fuel station not long after it starts complaining about 5 litres remaining.

recorded my worse mpg figure yet at 75.20mpg :

Dropped in 21.71 litres tonight after a week of heavy traffic in central London due to the Tube strikes, but have been doing some manual gear changes and trying to stay out of the fast lane

Resulted in 90.88mpg

Well still haven't had the bottle to run past 30 litres, I know there is 33 litres in there but it starts beeping after 27 to 27.5 litres have been used and I avoid buying fuel in central London because it's too dear

Wednesday I filled up, drove into London and after lunch I drove to Kettering, two adults with six resus annie's in the boot (yes it was tight fit but i jammed then bitches in). Did 80/85mph (90mph on the clock) with the air con on most of the way there, then booted it home to Luton at 12:20am. Did the normal 120 mile daily to commute to London with the air con all the way back and filled up last night.
I was expecting a very poor mpg figure significant worse than the 75.20mpg previously recorded, but was amazed with an average of 77.23mpg

Well two things happened in the last 24 hours towards my 100mpg quest, firstly I filled up last night when I got home (why oh why couldn't they add another two gallons to the tank size) and today's journey into central London was aced, not only there but back again (probably get a 3 hour delay tomorrow). The traffic flowed well and I managed to keep enough distance between the cars in front, without anyone cutting into the gap to nearly avoid all braking (slowing down is the one thing that the stupid gearbox does well).Got quite a few of the traffic lights on green and the M25 and M11 were both flowing well. The only fly in the ointment was the 40mph limit as I rejoined the M1 on the way home. But as you can see from the picture this occurred only 0.2 litres from a gallon.



So 4.54 litres ( 1 Gallon ) of Asda's finest diesel got me got me 97.7 miles

Is 100mpg possible, yes on a steady run without any hold up's, but I doubt it's gonna happen on my daily commute into London.

NB : It takes me 16 minutes longer to hypermile into London than keeping up with the big boys, uses less fuel, less engine wear, less brake wear and relives the boredom
