Toyota Camry fuel tank (Toyota Camry) price, photo

Reliability of vehicle operation depends on the fuel used. Using low-quality fuel leads to serious problems. Modern electronic control units are capable of adjusting the power plant to the low-octane gasoline used by changing the ignition timing, which, however, entails increased wear of the power unit elements, as well as an increase in consumption.

The volume of the gas tank is affected by the size of the car, the weight of the vehicle, and power. SUVs and trucks are equipped with more capacious gas tanks compared to sedans, station wagons, and minivans. Regardless of the size, the fuel tank requires regular maintenance.

The volume of the Camry tank and fuel consumption are determining and interrelated factors in the reliability of vehicle operation.

Advantages and disadvantages

Rust on the hood

An important advantage of the 2013 Camry is reliability. With proper maintenance and a moderate driving style, engines and gearboxes will work for a long time and without problems. The chassis will not require frequent and expensive repairs; the main components and assemblies will last more than 100 thousand km. Plus – soft suspension, which is well suited for rough roads. The advantages of Toyota are the demand for used cars in the market and the slow decline in price.

Broken driver's seat bolster

The weak points of the Toyota Camry XV50 include the soft and thin paintwork of the body, which is typical of modern cars. But the main problem is that the car quickly begins to rot in places where the paint has chipped off; sometimes the corrosion reaches the welds in the trunk. When selecting a used car, first of all inspect the trunk lid and hood for rust.

Mediocre sound insulation is a drawback of the 7th generation. It has improved over the 2006 Camry, but is still low for a sedan of its size. Also a minus is the level of finishing of the seats. The chairs quickly sag, the upholstery stretches and tears. Often this problem occurred before the warranty expired and was fixed by the dealer. “Crickets” are frequent guests in the cabin, the armrest, front panel, seats creak...

Camry XV10 gas tank capacity

The tank volume of the Toyota Camry XV10 is 70 liters. According to the requirements established by the manufacturer, the fuel used is AI-95 gasoline. Fuel with an octane rating of 95 is recommended for refueling Toyotas with an automatic transmission or manual transmission.

On a full tank, the Camry XV10 can travel about 540 km. This parameter is averaged and depends on the type of road, speed, driving style, and a number of other external factors. For example, fuel consumption of a 2.2 5S-FE with automatic transmission under ideal conditions should not exceed 11.2 liters. Actual consumption depends on weather conditions, the quality of the road surface, wear of the engine part, and so on. The appetite of the gasoline 3.0 3VZ-FE can reach 13.2 liters per hundred.

Cars with a manual transmission travel a longer distance with a full gas tank, unlike cars equipped with an automatic transmission. The reason for increased fuel consumption may be a failure of the sensor of the electronic engine control unit. In this case, the actual fuel consumption will not be displayed.

Engines and transmissions

Toyota camry (Toyota Camry)

The Camry 2012 was equipped with three gasoline engines (volume, marking, power, torque):

• 2.0 l. 1AZ-FE VVT-I with 148 hp 190 N/m
• 2.5 l. 2AR-FE Dual VVT-I – 181 hp 231 N/m
• 3.5 l V6 2GR-FE Dual VVT-I – 249 hp 346 N/m

Engine 2.5 2AR - the optimal solution

Toyota engines, if properly maintained, will not cause any problems to the owner. Many car enthusiasts, knowing that Toyota produces reliable cars, begin to abuse this: they pour in poor quality oil and replace it not once every 10 thousand km, but much less often. Which inevitably leads to premature wear of the motors and breakdown.

Unlike the XV40, only automatic transmissions were installed on the Five Ten. Paired with a two-liter engine – 4-speed, with a 2.5-liter engine. – 6-speed automatic transmission U760E, with V6 3.5 – 6-speed U660E. There are practically no complaints about the reliability of the pair of two-liter engine, 4-automatic transmission, the units are time-tested. But 6-automatic transmissions often require repairs due to an overly aggressive driving style.

Toyota Camry XV70

The type of fuel consumed by the XV70 is AI-92. The manufacturer recommends using gasoline with an octane rating of 92 to refuel the XV70 with any power unit. Fuel consumption in the urban cycle will be 9.7 liters if we are talking about 2.0. 11.5 liters are consumed per 100 km when the engine displacement is 2.5. 12.5 liters are spent per hundred with V6 3.5.

Gas tank - 60 liters.

A sharp increase in fuel consumption indicates a technical malfunction. Most often, the engine part, ignition elements, injectors or air filter are to blame. Often the problem is the fuel tank itself. To avoid leakage, manufacturers make multilayer tank walls, however, even in this case, the car owner is not 100% insured against leakage.

About operation

Finally, a few words regarding what the operational features of this machine are.
So, the stabilizer bushings will need to be replaced when the mileage since the last measurement is 30-40 thousand. The racks can easily “depart” for one hundred thousand. Steering rods can even be replaced after 150,000 kilometers. Although this is the maximum, it is better to do it somewhere around 100-120 thousand. If a person owns a car with a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine under the hood, then the injectors must be cleaned every 30 thousand kilometers. On every engine, each spark plug has its own ignition coil. When the mileage reaches 150,000 kilometers, the thermal clearances need to be adjusted.

What about oil? It is replaced every 10,000 km. But! Only synthetic is suitable - 5W-50. If you use something else, you will soon hear a knocking sound on a cold engine.

By the way, many people tune the Camry 40. In principle, this can be justified. Although many believe that tuning the Camry 40 is not necessary, this car itself looks decent. However, if a person wants to make it even better, then it is recommended to contact the appropriate service, the masters. They will definitely do everything conscientiously and will not damage the car.

Tank capacity

Range indicators on one full refueling depend not only on fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. An important role is also played by how much the gas tank allows you to fill as much as possible.

Three types of engines were installed on the Toyota Camry 50, so fuel is consumed differently in each configuration. However, all options were equipped with a tank of the same capacity - 70 liters.

Fuel consumption Camry 40

The fuel consumption of the Toyota Camry 40 per 100 km with various power units and transmissions is shown in the infographics below.

Fuel consumption in the urban cycle

On the highway, the Camry's fuel consumption differs from driving around the city, where the speedometer rarely shows significant speed.

Gasoline consumption on the highway

Fuel consumption in mixed mode

A number of factors also affect fuel consumption:

• weather conditions and season, for example, in winter, fuel consumption is always higher;
• driving style;
• technical serviceability of the car.

Engine and gearbox

With engines and transmissions, the “magpie” has everything at the highest level. Engine volume 2.4 2AZ-FE 167hp. (gasoline, like the larger one) could be coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission with the same number of gears (U250E). With these combinations, reliability problems are very rare and are caused more by high mileage or improper maintenance than by a manufacturing miscalculation. This engine provides the Toyota Camry 2008 with decent dynamics in the city and on the highway. For a long and trouble-free life of the power unit and transmission, you need to change the oil in them in a timely manner, and they will continue to drive and drive.

Engine 2.4 2AZ-FE

More powerful V6 3.5 liter engine 277hp. 2GR-FE was paired only with a 6-speed automatic (U660E). This pair has problems with the automatic transmission: it is not designed for long-term aggressive driving, constant abrupt starts from a standstill, and with such merciless use, the powerful motor breaks its own box.

Camry XV40 fuel consumption

Both engines have acceptable appetite. The 2.4 engine consumes on average 10 l/100 km, consuming 13.5 in the city, and 7.8 l/100 km on the highway, which is quite low even by modern standards. Oddly enough, the manufacturer claims the same average fuel consumption of 10 l/100 km for the larger power unit, while the V6 3.5 consumes 14.1 liters of fuel in the city, and on the highway its appetite is 7.4. Such low figures are explained by the fact that the larger Camry XV 40 engine is equipped with a transmission with a large number of gears.

Gasoline selection

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, it is necessary to pour only AI-95 gasoline. Operating experience suggests that Camry 40 works great on both AI-92 and AI-98. Below is a table compiled according to surveys of car owners.

Type of fuelPercentage of car owners who prefer this type of fuel

In addition to the octane number, there are a number of additional recommendations for refueling with gasoline:

• The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited, as this will damage the catalyst and power plant;
• refueling should not be done at a station where the fuel supply has just been replenished, since all the turbidity from the tanks will fall into the tank and clog the fuel filter;
• If persistent detonation, tripping or other symptoms of low-quality fuel appear, you must stop and drain it.

Wheels and tires

About the car

Indeed, in the vastness of our homeland, the Camry 40 has become very popular. It was because of this that it was decided to build a plant near St. Petersburg to produce this particular model.

In 2011, production ceased - the V40 replaced the V50 generation.

The car was produced only in a sedan body. And the model underwent only one modernization - in 2009. The car looks impressive - a chrome-plated radiator grille, foglight surrounds, a chrome strip above the license plate (but only above the rear one)... All this created a unique image. Moreover, this car sits on 215/60 R16 tires. The model has excellent drag (the coefficient is 0.28). The wheelbase of the sixth generation was increased by 5.5 centimeters, but the length did not change.

Now about the interior and interior equipment that the Camry 40 can boast of.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the steering column. It can be adjusted in both directions, allowing the driver to adjust the steering wheel the way he wants

The second point is 2-zone climate control. Provides a decent level of comfort. And six airbags, which are required even in the basic configuration. The car also has a CD changer (6 speakers and 6 discs).

Interestingly, there are also European and Arabic versions of the Camry 40. But they, unlike the standard ones, seem more clumsy and not so obedient on the roads.

Additional equipment includes cruise control, leather upholstery, electric front seats and even a navigation system with a touch screen (this option was added in 2009).

The interior has become much more spacious compared to cars of the previous generation. Interestingly, in the expensive configuration called “Premium” the rear sofa is divided (proportion: 40 x 20 x 40). And each part can be moved longitudinally and the back angle can be adjusted. In even more expensive configurations, the sofa is divided in proportions 60/40, so that the backrests can be completely folded. By the way, the trunk of the car can accommodate 535 liters of cargo.

History of development

The Toyota Camry fuel system operates using traditional technology. Fuel is supplied to the engine by a fuel pump directly from the fuel tank through a hose system running along the body. This was the case in the first Toyota Camry, and the same system remains in the latest versions.

The tank volume in these models has traditionally been 70 liters. According to Japanese engineers, this is the most optimal displacement option in terms of weight ratio, space occupied and distance covered. However, in the 90s, the automaker decided to experiment a little, and a 60.2-liter tank was installed on the cars. This can be seen on the 1990 and 1991 models. But then such a solution did not find positive reviews, and the manufacturer returned to the previous standard.

The auto giant released another option with a 60-liter tank in 2007. However, then this technical characteristic was justified by the fact that the car was equipped with a hybrid engine. By the way, such versions were not assembled in Russia and were not imported from Japan. What can not be said about the US and Australian markets, where hybrid versions were held in high esteem and were very popular.

The interior of the Camry 2012 model year has changed significantly. The space in the cabin has increased for both the passenger and the driver. People of almost any height can fit comfortably; recesses in the ceiling lining are made for this. American-style chairs are wide and soft; a slender person will feel the lack of lateral support. In some trim levels, it became possible to adjust the rear seats, control the radio, climate control and the curtain in the armrest of the rear sofa.

Black interior - a practical solution

All configurations of the Camry XV50, except the base one, were equipped with a head unit with a 6-inch display. Toyota engineers improved the sound insulation of the 7th generation, but it remained insufficient for E class cars. The old-fashioned wood-look interior trim has been preserved.

Reasons for high fuel consumption on Camry 40 and their solutions

The most common reasons and methods to reduce consumption are summarized in the table below.

ReasonWay to reduce consumption

Also, increased fuel consumption may be caused by malfunctions of the electronic engine control unit or failure of a sensor. In this case, the error log can be read in the ECU memory. After diagnosing the malfunction, it is necessary to eliminate it by repairing or replacing the failed element.

Fuel saving

It is quite natural that car enthusiasts are interested in the question of how to spend less fuel with such tank volumes.

Below are some tips from experts:

in the event of a leak from the gas tank, ensure that it is repaired immediately; when the pressure in the tire chambers decreases, the wheels are inflated under the control of a pressure gauge; if the wheel alignment is incorrectly tilted, the suspension is checked and adjusted on a stand; in case of unsuccessful tuning, the causes of such errors are identified and eliminated; if styling is carried out incorrectly, it is checked to see if there are wide-profile tires and a lip guard, body kit or spoiler, as well as how large the mirrors located on the outside are, since all of these nuances can slow down the movement of the car; if there is a malfunction of the attachments of a generator that has failed, the sound will be quite specific; It is also important to control the condition of the spark plugs, as they can rub against the engine (if such a problem has been identified, it is recommended to change the spark plugs); if the car's roll rate is low, the brakes and suspension are checked; if the air filter is clogged, it is replaced; if problems arise after chip tuning, the program will need to be restarted; and, of course, do not forget to control the oil level. The reasons that fuel has begun to be consumed more intensively may be malfunctions and unclearness of the electrical unit, which is responsible for engine operation.

One of the sensors may have failed. Then the block memory will think that the log is erroneous
