How many litres are in a Ford Fiesta tank?

Most Ford Fiesta tanks are around 42 litres. However, the exact capacity varies by generation and market, typically ranging from about 40 to 45 litres.


Why the capacity isn’t the same for every car


With multiple generations and regional variants, Ford adjusted tank size to balance range, weight, and emissions goals. As a result, some Fiestas use slightly smaller or larger tanks depending on year, engine option, and market.


How to find the exact figure for your model


To know your specific Fiesta’s tank capacity, use these steps:



  • Check the owner’s manual or the official Ford spec sheet for your exact model year and market.

  • Inspect the fuel-filler door label or your vehicle documentation for a stated tank capacity.

  • Enter your VIN into Ford’s online resources or contact a dealer to pull the vehicle’s precise specifications.


These steps will help you confirm the exact litre capacity for your car, which can differ even within the same generation.


Practical implications of tank size


A tank in the low-to-mid 40s litres typically yields a full-tank range of several hundred kilometres, depending on engine choice, driving style, and real-world fuel economy. Larger engines or aggressive driving can reduce range, while efficient variants may stretch a tank further.


Summary


In brief, there isn’t a single fixed number for the Ford Fiesta’s fuel tank. Most versions hover around 40–45 litres, with 42 litres being a common figure for many European-market examples. For exact capacity, consult the owner's manual, the vehicle’s labeling, or Ford’s official specification resources for your specific year and region.
