The most common fuel tank sizes in cars are 40, 50, 60 and 70 liters.
Judging by the volume of the tank, you can tell how big the car is. In the case of a 30 liter tank, we are most likely talking about a small car. 50-60 liters is a sign of a strong middle peasant. And 70 indicates a full-size car. The volume of the fuel tank would be a useless quantity if it were not for fuel consumption. Knowing the average fuel consumption, you can easily calculate how many kilometers a full tank of fuel will last you. On-board computers of modern cars are able to quickly show this information to the driver.

The fuel tank volume of the Lada 2114 Samara is 43 liters.

Fuel tank design

The main function of a fuel tank is to store a certain amount of fuel. At the same time, everything must be organized so that the likelihood of a fire hazard is minimized.

On VAZ cars the fuel tank is located under the rear seats. Due to this placement, in the event of serious accidents and car overturns, the tank in most cases remains undamaged. VAZ fuel tanks are made of leaded steel sheets. Thanks to a thin layer of lead that protects against corrosion, the service life of the tank is significantly increased. The outside of the fuel tank is covered with dark enamel.

The fuel tank, covered with dark enamel, is reliably protected from corrosion

The fuel storage volume of the VAZ 2108 and other similar models is 43 liters. This takes into account the reserve, but it is not recommended to fill the tank to the brim. You should always leave a free volume of about four liters. It is especially important to do this in the summer, since the fuel expands as the temperature rises. If the tank is filled to the brim, then after swelling it may simply burst. The volume of the VAZ gas tank is designed in such a way that the autonomous mileage is enough for 500 kilometers, and this is considered a normal road segment in modern conditions.

The tank is securely fixed to the car body using flexible and durable plate-type clamps. Rubber gaskets must be placed under the clamps to ensure a tighter connection.

The tank mounting plates are very flexible and durable

Gasoline is poured through the neck on the right (in the direction of travel) rear side of the body. It is closed with a screw cap.

The neck of the VAZ 2115 tank is closed with a tight lid

Main elements of the fuel tank

The neck is connected to the tank cavity through the filler hose. The other two tubes are integrated with a seven-liter separator installed outside the tank and designed to capture gasoline vapors. As a result of wear, the separator may split along the seam and gasoline will begin to leak out. It can be replaced without dismantling the tank. Moreover, you can temporarily cover the separator seam with a gasoline-resistant sealant.

The separator tank holds seven liters of fuel

In order not to remove the separator (it is necessary to dismantle the bumper and filler pipe), experienced car owners simply disconnect the hoses of the element and cut it out with metal scissors. In place of the separator, a fine fuel injection filter is installed, which performs similar functions.

Instead of a separator, you can install a fine fuel filter

Some separators are equipped with a double-acting valve to minimize fuel leakage. The valve admits and releases gasoline vapor. Once in the tank, the vapors condense and thereby reduce fuel consumption.

The fuel system of the VAZ 2112 car is quite simple

The tank of VAZ cars produced after 2000 is equipped with a fuel level sensor (FLS), which regulates the amount of gasoline in the tank and sends data to the electronic control unit (ECU). The sensor is fixed through a rubber gasket and can be easily removed through the rear seat.

The fuel level sensor is installed on all VAZ models produced after 2000

VAZ 2114 tank volume: finding out the real numbers

Before we look at the main question - how much volume the VAZ 2114 tank holds, let’s look at the main technical characteristics of this car.

Its engine parameters are as follows:

• working volume - 1499 cm3;
• total power - 77 hp;
• maximum rotation speed - 5200 min-1;
• maximum torque - 116 N/m.

In turn, the main operating parameters of the VAZ 2114 car look like:

• acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h - 14 s;
• maximum possible speed - 157 km/h;
• fuel consumption in urban conditions (per 100 km) - 9.9 l;
• fuel consumption on a suburban highway (per 100 km) - 6.2 l;
• fuel consumption when traveling in mixed conditions (per 100 km) - 7.5 liters.

Now consider the main weight and dimensions of the car:

• total length - 4122 mm;
• full width - 1650 mm;
• height - 1422 mm;
• ground clearance - 165 mm;
• wheelbase size - 2460 mm;
• front track - 1400 mm;
• rear track - 1370 mm;
• weight (curb) - 985 kg;
• weight (total) - 1410 kg;
• fuel tank volume (full) - 43 l.

As you can see from the table above, the gas tank on the VAZ 2114 holds exactly 43 liters. Is this really so? Let’s look at it below.

Consumption and travel distance

If we take into account the volume of the VAZ 2114 tank and the data on gasoline consumption (given in the table above), we can draw the following conclusions about the possible travel range.

When driving at a constant speed of 90 km/h, the maximum range can be almost 700 km without additional refueling.

Fuel system VAZ 2114

When traveling in the so-called “mixed” city/highway mode, consumption will increase, which means the range will decrease (up to 640 km).

And when traveling only in city mode (taking into account standing in traffic jams and a large proportion of driving in low gears), fuel consumption will be maximum - almost 10 l/100 km. It is also worth considering that these figures are for new cars. For used cars they will be slightly higher.

Today I looked at half the tank

Major damage to the gas tank

When using a fuel tank for a long time, situations arise that require repair. First of all this:

• holes and cracks resulting from mechanical stress and corrosion;
• clogging of pipes and hoses directly connected to the tank;
• damage to the connecting seam at the junction of the tank halves.

Small cracks are usually sealed. This is a rather labor-intensive procedure, but the functionality of the tank can be completely restored. In case of major damage or holes, the tank is replaced with a new one. Dirt gets into the hoses along with low-quality fuel. In this case, the mesh through which gasoline enters the tank may become clogged. Therefore, it must be periodically washed and changed. In addition, you should only refuel at proven gas stations and do not abuse additives to reduce fuel consumption. The weakest point of the tank is the seam, which is constantly subjected to severe stress. This can be avoided if the tank is made in one piece. The fuel tank can also fail due to deformation of the neck, formation of dents after an accident, separation of partitions inside the tank, etc.

How to fill

When the old substance is completely drained, you can proceed to the second part.

1. Tighten all plugs.
2. Disconnect the hose from the pipe and fill with antifreeze. Fill in the liquid
3. Reinstall the hose and add more.
4. Tighten the plug.
5. Turn on the engine and let the car idle. This will remove all the air.
6. Turn off the engine. Check the level and sensor. If everything is in order, then put on the mudguard, tighten the fastening bolts, put the cap on the tank and close the hood.

Done, the replacement in the VAZ 2115 was successfully completed.

Coolant temperature sensor

How often do you change antifreeze or antifreeze?

To determine when to change antifreeze or antifreeze, you need to consider the following factors:

• Shelf life of antifreeze.
• Manufacturer's recommended coolant mileage when replacing.
• Current state of the liquid: color.

Each coolant has its own expiration date:

• Antifreeze – 2 years.
• Antifreeze - 5 years.

You also need to pay attention to what mileage your coolant is designed for: the bottles always indicate the lifespan of the coolant: it could be 20 thousand, maybe 40 thousand.

Installing spacers for front shock absorbers

To begin with, we will look at how to raise the front of a VAZ 2114. But before you start increasing the car’s ground clearance, you should prepare all the necessary tools. So, you will need a set of keys, a hammer, as well as a lift or inspection hole (without them it will not be possible to complete the installation procedure).

The process of installing spacers is carried out in the following order:

1. Place the car in the pit.
2. Raise the front end using a jack.
3. Remove the tie rod pin from the front strut (you may need a hammer and pry bar for this).

After the ground clearance of the front rings has been increased, spacers should also be installed under the rear pillars.

Installation of spacers under the rear shock absorbers is carried out according to the following scheme:

Unscrew the fasteners of the lower part of the shock absorber.

By carrying out such a simple operation, you can significantly increase the vehicle's ground clearance in just a couple of hours compared to the factory version.

It should also be noted that after the changes have been made, the car should have the following toe-in/camber angles (with a load of 4 adults in the cabin and 40 kg of payload in the trunk):

• camber - 0°±30';
• toe - 0°00'±10' (0±1 mm);
• castor (rotation axis angle) - 1°30'±30'.

Without load, these same values ​​must be within the following limits:

• camber — 0°30'±30';
• toe - 0°15'±10' (1.5±1 mm);
• castor - 0°20'±30'.

If the specified parameters go beyond the above acceptable limits, then you cannot operate the car - you should correct them yourself or at a service station.
