Description / Abstract:
This recommended practice provides a method for establishing the
rated or advertised fuel capacity for a vehicle utilizing liquid
fuel at atmospheric pressure. It applies to passenger cars,
multi-purpose passenger vehicles and light duty trucks (10 000 lb
(4536 kg) maximum GVW), (Ref. SAE J1100). It also includes a
standardized procedure for creating a full tank when another test
requires that condition as a starting point. It sis intended as
guide toward standard practice and is subject to change to keep
pace with experience and technical advances.
