How big is a 2007 Ford Focus gas tank?
The gas tank in a 2007 Ford Focus is about 14.5 gallons (55 liters).
In practice, tank size can vary slightly by model, body style, and regional market. The following overview explains typical capacities and what that means for fuel range and daily use.
Typical capacity for North American models
Most US-spec 2007 Focus models share a nominal fuel tank capacity of about 14.5 gallons (55 liters). This size supports a practical driving range between fills, depending on engine choice and driving conditions.
Variations by body style and engine
Hatchback and sedan variants, as well as automatic versus manual transmissions, can influence the exact usable range, but the tank capacity remains around 14.5 gallons. Some listings and manuals may round to 14.0–14.7 gallons; the official spec is commonly cited as 14.5 gallons.
European and other markets
In Europe and other regions, the Focus often uses a similar ballpark with a tank typically in the 50–60 liter range (roughly 13.2–15.8 gallons), depending on engine and body style. Always check the owner’s manual or a VIN-specific spec for precise figures.
Why tank size matters for drivers
A larger tank can mean fewer stops for fuel on long trips, while a smaller tank may require more frequent refueling in city driving. Real-world range also depends on engine efficiency, transmission, and driving habits.
Practical tips for estimating range
To estimate how far you can go on a full tank, multiply the average miles per gallon (or liters per 100 kilometers) by the tank capacity, then subtract reserve. Most drivers consider a reserve to be about 1–2 gallons (about 4–8 liters) to avoid running the tank dry.
Summary
For a 2007 Ford Focus in North America, expect a fuel tank around 14.5 gallons (55 liters), with slight variations by body style and market. Understanding this helps plan trips and fuel stops more accurately. Always confirm the exact capacity for your specific vehicle via the owner’s manual or a VIN-based spec if precise accuracy is required.
