How big is a 2013 Chevy Equinox gas tank?
The 2013 Chevy Equinox uses two gasoline engines with two corresponding tank sizes: about 16 gallons for the 2.4-liter engine and about 18.8 gallons for the 3.6-liter V6.
Fuel-tank sizes by engine
Below is a straightforward breakdown of the nominal fuel-tank capacities depending on engine choice, which helps with planning range and refueling.
- 2.4L Ecotec inline-4 engine — approximately 16 gallons (about 60.6 liters).
- 3.6L V6 engine — approximately 18.8 gallons (about 71 liters).
Note: The capacity shown above is the official nominal size from Chevrolet and applies to most U.S.-spec 2013 Equinox models. Drivetrain (FWD vs AWD) generally does not change the stated capacity, and the exact usable fuel will be slightly less than the nominal capacity due to the design of the tank and fuel-sending equipment. For the precise figure on a specific vehicle, check the door jamb sticker or the owner's manual.
Additional context: range and verification
Because fuel economy varies with engine, transmission, and driving conditions, the practical driving range on a full tank will differ between configurations. To estimate how far you can travel on a full tank, multiply the tank capacity by the vehicle’s miles-per-gallon rating for your setup, then consider reserve fuel usage.
Summary
In summary, the 2013 Chevy Equinox offers two standard tank sizes: about 16 gallons with the 2.4L engine and about 18.8 gallons with the 3.6L V6. The tank size is largely the same for either front- or all-wheel-drive configurations, but you should verify the exact figure on your specific vehicle via the door jamb sticker or manual.
