How much petrol or diesel should you fill in your vehicle?
Ideally, you should keep your vehicle's tank full to ensure good mileage. However, if you cannot fill the tank completely, you should at least maintain the fuel level above the halfway or quarter-tank mark. Keeping the tank full prevents air accumulation inside and helps keep the fuel pump cool. It is worth noting that even when the fuel gauge reads zero, there is still a reserve of 4 to 7 liters of fuel left in the vehicle; however, you should never drive the vehicle down to that limit.
