How big is a Ford Focus gas tank?
The typical Ford Focus fuel tank holds about 12.4 gallons (47 liters), though capacity varies by generation and market. For your exact model year and region, check the owner's manual or VIN-based specifications.
What drives the variation
Fuel-tank size in the Focus has remained fairly consistent across many generations, but small differences can occur due to engine choice, emissions equipment, and regional specifications. In practice, most North American Focus models use a tank near 12.4 gallons, while some European configurations can differ by a liter or two. Always verify the exact figure for your specific car.
Regional and generation differences
North American models commonly list a 12.4-gallon (47-liter) tank. European and other markets may show slight variations, so the precise capacity can differ by a small margin depending on the country of sale and year. For precise figures, refer to the official specifications for your exact vehicle.
How to confirm the exact capacity for your car
To obtain the precise fuel-tank capacity for a particular Focus, use these reliable sources: the owner's manual, the fuel-filler door label (which often lists tank capacity), or Ford’s official website or VIN-based spec lookup. If you have a window sticker or build sheet, those documents will also show the exact capacity.
Summary
In general, plan on about 12.4 gallons (47 liters) for a Ford Focus, with minor variations by market and generation. For an exact figure, consult the vehicle’s manual or a VIN-specific specification from Ford.
