Tank volume of LADA Priora: what is the volume of the fuel tank of Lada Priora, car tank capacity

Standard gas tank - article number and price

The standard gas tank has article number 21082110101370. The price ranges from 3,500 to 5,500 rubles. All of them are produced at the same factory, the issue of pricing lies with the conscience of the seller. A used gas tank costs from 1000 to 2000 rubles. No need to be cheap - a gas tank is not just a plastic container, it should not be damaged. The quality of a gas tank used by someone can be doubted.

The dimensions and size of the tank on the Priora are such that the tank will fit in its predecessor models: the volume of the tank has not changed. A full tank always fills up to 43 liters.

10.2013 — 07.2018

Weight of hatchback Lada Priora (VAZ 21723)

The curb weight of the VAZ 21723 hatchback is:

• 1088 kg – produced before 2013. Here it is taken into account that the car is fully equipped, fully fueled, and driven by a driver whose weight is 75 kg. Passengers and cargo are not transported;
• In 2013, after restyling, the curb weight began to reach 1185 kg.

It must be said that the total weight (i.e., the maximum weight of a fully loaded vehicle at which it can be used) remained the same after restyling, namely 1578 kg. This means that the cargo capacity of the hatchback after restyling was reduced by about 100 kg, despite the same trunk size.

How to remove and install a fuel tank yourself

In order to replace a faulty tank on a LADA Priora you will need the appropriate set of tools:

• Pliers.
• Wrenches included in the set.
• Screwdrivers, both Phillips and flathead.
• Heads included.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the fuel tank on a Priora with your own hands:

• The fuel tank of the Lada Priora should contain as little fuel as possible. Therefore, it is better to first use as many liters of fuel as are left in the car.
• The car will have to be driven onto an overpass, or, if desired, into a pit.
• At this stage, you have to remove the rear sofa and fold back the carpet, under which the fuel pump cover is actually located.
• The cover is secured with a pair of screws, which must be unscrewed and the cover removed. You will see a device called a fuel pump.
• The wire block can be disconnected by bending the special clamp.
• We start the engine and wait until it stalls.
• Let's compare the pressure. This is done with the help of a starter, which needs to be turned for 3 seconds.
• Remove the “-” terminal from the battery.
• Squeezing the plastic clamp, disconnect the fuel pump tube from the fitting.
• We do the same with the second fitting.
• Now you should loosen the clamp of the air outlet hose and remove it from the pipe.
• We remove the tube that is responsible for draining the fuel from the special compartment of the separator. This can be done by clamping the latches on the sides.
• We also disconnect the hose going from the filler pipe to the tank nozzle.
• Remove the 2 clamps holding the gas tank.
• If you need to completely replace the tank, you will need to change all the supply hoses without exception. Don't forget to remove the air outlet hose from the tank fitting.
• Return to the place where you removed the cover under the rear seats. Make sure that the nut securing the “-” is removed.
• We remove the wire.
• Remove the pressure ring; for this purpose you need to remove 7 nuts.
• We remove the pump very carefully; when removing it, you need to tilt it slightly to the side so as not to damage the fuel sensor.
• There is a rubber O-ring on the gas tank flange. It needs to be replaced because it becomes cracked over time.
• The neck plug through which fuel is poured into the pipe must be removed, after which we remove the lower bracket on which it is supported. It is important to remove the top bracket only after this.
• We remove the upper end from the filling pipe, or rather from its facing part, then remove the pipe. After this we remove the facing part. You can put the elastic back if it is not damaged.
• Remove the hose from the filler neck.
• After everything has been removed carefully and in the correct order, you can install a new unit, and if necessary, replace all seals, gaskets and hoses that are damaged, even if they are minor. Correct work will ensure stable operation of the fuel sensor and fuel pump.

VAZ 2170 | Fuel tank ventilation

Fuel tank ventilation

• Attached to the fuel filler neck is a vent hose that is attached to the top of the fuel tank level sensor. Air is vented through this hose when fuel is added to the tank.
• A thin ventilation hose conducts the resulting vapors to the activated carbon container.
• While driving, air flows through this hose when the fuel level decreases, which prevents the formation of vacuum in the tank. Therefore, when installing the tank, pay special attention to ensure that the hose is not twisted or pinched.

The illustration shows the important elements of a closed vapor recovery system. At a certain coolant temperature and engine load, the diaphragm valve (1) opens, to which reduced pressure is transferred from the intake manifold, and a vacuum is also created in the diaphragm valve (2). As a result, fuel vapors collected in a container with activated carbon (picture on the right) are sucked through the intake manifold into the combustion chambers. The activated carbon container is located on the right wing.

Activated carbon container

To protect the environment, the tank ventilation hose on Renault 19 petrol models with a controlled catalyst is connected to a container containing activated carbon. This container is located behind the mudguard in the right wing. When the engine is not running or at idle, gasoline vapors accumulate in this tank and then enter the engine combustion chamber when the engine load increases or the speed increases. The solenoid valve, which receives a command from the injection and ignition control device, is responsible for supplying fuel vapor to the working mixture. When the engine load is appropriate, this valve opens a reduced pressure hose to the intake manifold or engine ventilation system, causing fuel vapor to be pumped out of the activated carbon container.

Checking the ventilation system

If the Renault 19 overturns, no more than 30 g of fuel per minute can flow out of the ventilation pipe. There is a safety valve located near the tank filler neck in the right wing.

This valve is connected through the filler neck vent hose to the tank. The safety valve is located in such a way that even with very strong inclinations, the outlet remains closed. There is also a valve inserted into the filler neck of the tank to prevent overfilling. If the tank overfills, the overfill valve opens and releases excess pressure through the ventilation hose into the activated carbon container.

How far can you travel?

The volume of the Priora's fuel tank is designed so that the car can travel a certain distance without refueling. In many ways, the power reserve is individual – that is, it depends on the driver’s driving style. Sharp acceleration increases fuel consumption, and the same thing happens if you select the wrong gear. But there is not only a human factor. Firstly, different amounts of fuel are consumed in the city, on the highway and in the combined cycle when recalculated per 100 km.

Secondly, a lot depends on the engine: the Priora was equipped with engines with a displacement of 1.6 liters with eight and sixteen valves and a power of 81, 87, 98 and 106 hp. Plus, since 2013, after restyling, the Priora was equipped with a robotic automatic transmission. The most popular choice is a sixteen-valve engine with 98 hp. along with manual transmission. Calculations will be given for it.

On a full tank

So, the configuration we have chosen consumes:

• 9.8 l per 100 km in the city;
• 5.6 l per 100 km on the highway;
• 7.2 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle.

With the maximum filling of the gas tank, the Lada Priora, powered by AI-95 (according to the passport!) will travel:

• 438.77 km in the city;
• 767.88 km on the highway;
• 597.22 km combined cycle.

It is worth subtracting at least 30 km from these figures so as not to kill the fuel pump - if it pumps air and debris from the bottom of the gas tank, its service life will gradually come to an end.

When the gas pump on the dashboard came on

If the gas station icon lights up on the panel, then this is not good - there is less than 10 liters left in the gas tank. This is, one might say, a critical situation. Of course, there have been cases when a person drove with a “light bulb” another 90 km along the highway, but it is better not to risk it - limit the radius of the gas station search area to 20 km immediately after you see the light bulb.

How much gasoline is in the tank when the light is on?

When the warning light on the instrument panel lights up, less than 10 liters of fuel remains in the Priora tank, which is already a signal that the car needs to be refueled. Of course, taking into account the fuel consumption of the Priora, you can drive almost 100 km on 10 liters of fuel, but it is highly not recommended to take risks and check the car’s consumption in such conditions.

Removing and installing the tank

Removing the gas tank on a Priora begins with compiling a set of tools:

1. Set of wrenches;
2. Set of heads;
3. Flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
4. Pliers.

It will be most convenient to dismantle the fuel tank without gasoline, or with a small amount of it. The work will take place in the following order:

1. Drive the car into a pit or overpass, secure it in place by tightening the handbrake;
2. Remove the rear seat completely, and then the part of the carpet under which the fuel pump cover is located;
3. Remove the two screws that secure this cover and remove it. In front of you is the fuel pump;
4. Find the wiring harness block, bend the clamp, after which you can disconnect the wiring block;
5. Start the engine, wait until it stalls (the fuel has completely drained out of the ramp). Then equalize the pressure in the fuel drives by turning the starter for about three seconds;
6. Remove the negative terminal of the battery;
7. Squeeze the plastic clamp on the fuel pump fitting (there are two of them). Disconnect the tube from the pump fitting;
8. On the second fitting, bend the second clamp, disconnect the other tube;
9. Find the air outlet hose and loosen its clamp. Remove the hose from the pipe;
10. Remove the tube responsible for draining gasoline from the separator by clamping the clamps on the sides;
11. Where the connecting hose from the fill pipe is attached to the tank nozzle, loosen the clamp. Remove the hose;
12. We proceed to direct dismantling. Remove the two clamps that secure the tank;
13. If you are going to change the tank, then it is worth changing all the supply hoses. Remove the air outlet hose from the tank fitting;
14. Go back upstairs to where you removed the cover under the seats. The nut securing the “-” must be removed. After this, you can remove the wire itself;
15. Unscrew the remaining seven nuts that secure the pressure ring and remove it. Carefully remove the pump, tilting it to the side to keep the fuel gauge sensor lever intact;
16. There is an O-ring (rubber) on the tank flange. It may have cracked over time, so it might be a good idea to replace it;
17. Remove the filler pipe filler plug, and then remove the bottom bracket securing it. Strictly after this, dismantle the upper bracket;
18. Remove the upper end from the facing part of the filling pipe and remove the pipe. Remove the facing part itself. If the elastic band is not damaged, it can be put back;
19. Remove the hose from the filler neck.

Install the parts in reverse order. You can do without replacing parts, but checking the integrity of the seams of hoses, gaskets and other parts will ensure stable operation of the fuel pump and fuel sensor.

VAZ 2170 | Fuel tank

The fuel tank of the Audi 80 is technically quite advanced, but it has also been improved for all-wheel drive models. The complex shape of the fuel tank helps achieve a large tank capacity without sacrificing luggage compartment volume. In the middle of the fuel tank you can see the fuel pump and fuel quantity indicator sensor. At the top right is the filling pipe with all the ventilation and filling hoses.

Rear right wheel arch with fender liner removed

The fuel tank in front-wheel drive Audi 80 models has a capacity of about 66 liters; in all-wheel drive versions it holds a minimum of 64 liters. To achieve a flat surface on the bottom of the luggage compartment with the possibility of loading the passenger compartment, the fuel tank is installed in the rear of the car under the sheet bottom of the luggage compartment. The tank itself is made of plastic - a material that allows almost unlimited possibilities when shaping. These opportunities were used one hundred percent. For example, the fuel tank of all-wheel drive models occupies almost all the free space under the body, which is done in order to achieve the largest possible volume. Therefore, the shape of this car part looks rather strange. To ensure that parts of the fuel tank located below are also emptied during the trip, a clever trick was used: in this lower area there is a pump that, when the engine is running, constantly pumps fuel to the parts of the fuel tank located above. Moreover, this happens quite simply: the return fuel from the fuel return line picks up additional fuel in the pump housing and carries it upward.

Another trick was used to deal with chambers of different volumes in the fuel tank: a hose is connected to the filler pipe leading directly to the suction area, so that it fills first. This is important, for example, when adding a small amount of fuel from a spare canister.

Tip: Before you start working on the fuel system, you must always disconnect the ground cable from the battery. Unintentional electrical shorts can cause dangerous sparks.

Why is fuel tank ventilation needed?

• Ventilation of the fuel tank is important for uninterrupted fuel supply: in the same quantity as the fuel consumed, air must enter the tank, otherwise a reduced pressure will form in the fuel tank and the flow of fuel will stop.
• The fuel tank must be ventilated to allow the contents to expand when heated.
• When refueling, it is necessary that air can escape from the tank, because otherwise the poured fuel will rise again to the filler pipe and begin to pour out.

Ventilation of the fuel tank in the Audi 80

• The fuel tank ventilation pipe is connected directly behind the filler pipe. The ventilation duct leads first to the so-called gravity valve. The latter closes the pipeline as soon as the car tilts to the side by more than 45°. This prevents fuel leakage through the ventilation ducts during an accident. After passing through the air valve, the ventilation line does not lead directly to the outside, however, but ends in the activated carbon reservoir in the front right wheel arch. Its purpose is to catch fuel vapors passing through this pipeline (arising, for example, as a result of heating the contents of the fuel tank). When the engine is running, these gases are again sucked out of the activated carbon tank at a certain engine load. When this should happen is determined by a load-dependent solenoid valve.
• In parallel to this system, the air valve opens the expansion tank of the fuel tank during refueling, located in the filling channel (in the right rear wheel arch) in the form of a separate container. Thus, with increasing fuel levels, fuel vapors can be displaced there instead of escaping into the atmosphere.
• While driving along this path, outside air enters depending on the amount of fuel consumed, so that a vacuum does not form in the tank.

Major breakdowns and malfunctions

There are several main reasons for tank breakdowns after which it needs to be repaired or replaced with a new one.

The studs securing the fuel pump cup are one of the main reasons for tank failure and the reason for its repair. Although the diameter of the studs was increased in Priora, it is not difficult to tear them off.

A tank breakdown occurs when driving on country roads, since the tank does not have any protection and is located in a vulnerable place.

Corrosion in the tank is also one of the reasons for dismantling the tank and cleaning it from dirt or even replacing it with a new one.

How to check the geometry of a car body

The opinion that the absence of deviations in the car's wheel alignment indicators can serve as confirmation of the correct body geometry is erroneous. Body diagnostics is a separate procedure that requires special stands and stocks.

Using such devices, using control points, you can check the conformity of the dimensions and diagonals of the engine compartment, trunk, doorways, as well as the distance between side members, reinforcements, load-bearing body parts, etc.

There are three options for checking body geometry:

• Carrying out measurements of distances between control points. This type of diagnostic allows you to quickly check the correctness of the geometry both before starting repair work and during its implementation. Such measurements are carried out using a regular tape measure or a special ruler.
• During comparative measurements, the correspondence of the distances between symmetrical points located on opposite sides of the body is analyzed. This type of test is distinguished by its versatility and ease of diagnosis of body damage. As a rule, experts compare the length of the diagonals between symmetrical points of the body. In this case, you can compare the measurement data on the damaged and intact sides of the car.
• In three-dimensional measurement, the spatial location of control points is determined in relation to the base planes of the body. For such diagnostics it is necessary to have special equipment.

During the measurements, a specialist can determine the extent of the main damage, determine the presence of minor defects and outline a plan for restoration work.

To measure the geometry of the body, measuring rulers are used or stationary equipment is used, a slipway, which allows you to check the distances between control points using special marks or electronic beacons.

To do this, the car is fixed on a platform using chains and measuring sensors are hung on certain points of the body. Quite often, craftsmen are faced with a situation where control points are hidden under the skin of body panels, under bumpers, under protective elements, so they have to partially disassemble the body to provide access to hidden places.

In order to restore the original parameters of the body geometry, straightening work is carried out in a car service center. This is a rather complex and multi-stage job that must be performed by qualified craftsmen who have the appropriate education, experience and a good feel for metal.

Garage specialists can tell you that they can easily restore your car after an accident using a special certified line. But such assurances should not be trusted. Without equipment such as a slipway, the geometry of the body after a serious accident cannot be fully restored. Cars repaired in artisanal conditions, as a rule, have deviations in body geometry.

We have already noted earlier that body diagnostics using control points should be carried out at least once a year or every 30 thousand km. mileage

If the car service is not equipped with special stands, then a body repair technician can use a ruler to measure the geometry of the body, but this is not a very reliable method, which can give an error of about 5 millimeters in one direction or another.

On the slipway you can measure the dimensions of such body elements as:

• luggage compartment opening;
• engine compartment;
• front and rear side members;
• window openings;
• doorways;
• sections of the front, middle, rear of the car.

To straighten the car frame, auto repair shops use hydraulic equipment and vacuum suction cups.

Complete restoration of body geometry (correction after serious accidents) can be carried out by stretching, but only if the metal has retained its characteristics.

Diode pointers are used for computer body diagnostics. This device allows you to perform all the necessary measurements without disassembling. For diagnostics, the machine is installed on a stand. The computer program will take all the necessary measurements and apply them to a virtual template of a specific car model. Such a check takes about 10 minutes, and the owner of the car receives a printout of the body with marked problem areas. The permissible error of such diagnostics is within 5 mm.

Lada Priora tank how many liters

The popular domestic Lada Priora borrowed the tank volume from its predecessor. And many potential owners are interested in the question, how many liters are in the tank? We will definitely answer this pressing question in this material, and also tell you a lot of useful information about the Lada Priora tank, including what troubles to expect, how much it costs and most importantly, what is the capacity of the gas tank.

A short excursion into history, the legendary VAZ-2108 was equipped with a tank, the volume of which was absolutely the same as that of the VAZ-2110 later. The “Ten” has long been discontinued, and the Priora is being produced, but the capacity of the gas tank has not changed since the days of the “Eight”. At the same time, Lada Priora has its own personal article number (that is, catalog number) for the tank. The number is identical for each body: sedan, exactly the same for a station wagon and, accordingly, for a hatchback. According to numerous owners of the car we are considering, its tank volume is the most optimal, and all because Priora is a 100 percent city car with average fuel consumption in urban conditions and low fuel consumption on the highway. According to information from the car manufacturer, the tank volume is 43 liters, however, Lada Priora owners have found through experience that the tank capacity is actually up to 49 liters.

Body geometry VAZ 2112 slip dimensions

To independently solve the problem of restoring parts of a VAZ 2112 car, you need to have the geometric dimensions of its body. In professional workshops, these parameters must be taken into account, and they are individual for each machine model. Violation of body geometry must be eliminated, since it significantly reduces the safety of driving such a car. From this article you can learn important information about the indicators on which high-quality repair of the VAZ 2112 body depends.

The influence of body geometry on handling

During the operation of a VAZ 2112 car, sooner or later deformation of body parts occurs. Safety on the road and ease of operation depend on the level of their wear.

VAZ 2112 has been produced since 1999. The car body of this model is similar to the 2110 modification, the difference is that the first is slightly shorter than the second.

The steering wheel makes turns easier and faster.

Model 2112 is characterized by a sporty character. It combines the winning parts of the 10 with the estate rear seat from the 2111, making the car much roomier and more maneuverable. The ability to transform the rear seat allows, if necessary, to significantly increase the volume of the interior. Improved handling characteristics have simplified the process of entering a turn, which has significantly increased the level of safety for road users.

The VAZ 2112 has several modifications, for example, model 21123 is characterized by an original design of the hood and bumper, which allowed the car body to become popular among many car enthusiasts. After some time, the VAZ 2112 had a new grille model, and the hood took on a standard look.

Geometric dimensions of the “two-piece”

VAZ 2112 is one of the most popular models among the cars produced by the domestic automotive industry. It is relatively inexpensive, has a good design and different body styles.

The main geometric dimensions of the body of this car are as follows (in mm):

• length – 4170;
• width without mirrors – 1680;
• height – 1435;
• width with mirrors – 1875;
• rear door opening diagonal – 1320;
• short diagonal of the rear side window frame – 230;
• the distance between the center of the upper beam of the rear door opening to the middle of its lower beam is 1050;
• the long diagonal of the rear side window frame is 710.

The rarest body type of the 2112 is a coupe, or three-door hatchback. This is a sports model, it stands out from others, which are monotonous in terms of the geometric dimensions of the body. It was the design features of the VAZ 2112 coupe that allowed the model to become in demand at one time. However, after ten thousand examples of the 2112 coupe were produced, production ceased, so it is considered a rare model.

Several modifications of the VAZ 2112 were equipped with hatches, which greatly increased the comfort of the driver and passengers on the road. The geometric dimensions of 2112 made it possible to equip the car with many additional functional capabilities.

Body parts most susceptible to deformation

Sharp braking or untimely start provoke, first of all, damage to the bumper. If it is insignificant, then during repairs it is possible to achieve the performance of standard geometry. In the presence of complex deformations, this cannot be done, so it is easier to replace the damaged body part with a new one.

If the owner of the car does not take enough care of the condition of the body, then those parts that have close contact with the road surface are quickly eaten away by corrosion. And repairing the hood, doors and hidden body parts instead of timely prevention is already more difficult and expensive.

The question arose about replacing the TV (s/o) with a VAZ-2110, as there was great sadness. Like everyone else, in order to save money, as well as gain experience, it was decided to do it yourself. The question arose about the geometric dimensions of the engine compartment. I found a couple of diagrams on the Internet
