2016 Camry Fuel Tank Capacity

[Flopy]

Hey all,

My 2016 camry takes 5 litres of fuel less when full tank is filled. How do I know? I can fill another 5 litres of fuel when I drive back home from the server which is 2km away.

This has been the case from day 1 of purchasing the brand new car.

The fuel consumption is 7.3l/100km.

You'll never fully empty a tank in real-world driving, the pump will starve and cut the engine out whilst there is still a few litres sloshing around in the bottom of the tank.  When you fill up at a servo, the bowser pump cuts out when it senses pressure returning up the vent line, which is caused by the tank reaching it's presribed fill volume and compressing the air left in the top of the tank.

There should always be a small volume of air left in the top of the tank (this is called ullage).  If you try and top-off the tank at the bowser by continually pulling the handle after the first few clicks (depending on how fast you are filling the sloshing fuel can sometimes cut-off the bowser too soon), or in your case going home and gravity-filling with a jerry can, you are forcing extra fluid in to this ullage space which can then cause dramas such as liquid petrol being forced up the vapour recovery system and saturating the charcoal canister (bad)
