Fuel tank features
On a Ford Focus, the fuel tank is located at the bottom.
Its one-piece design provides maximum durability through the use of a synthetic polymer on a reinforced backing. Fuel tank capacity differs for petrol and diesel models. Including the tank volume on variants with gasoline engines – 55 liters. As for diesel engines, they are equipped with tanks with a volume of 52.7 liters. This is quite enough to move comfortably around the city and not visit gas stations every day. Moreover, this volume also allows for long trips of about 700–800 km on a single tank. There is a sensor right in the tank that monitors the fuel level. As for the fuel pump, in third-generation Ford Focus gasoline models it is also located inside. On cars with diesel engines, a special pump is installed that pumps fuel and delivers it from the tank to the system. It is part of the plunger injection pump system located under the hood. All model variants are equipped with direct and return fuel lines. If you are repairing the tank, the fuel will need to be removed through the fuel filler neck.
The essence of the fuel system is this: an electric pump supplies fuel along the line from the tank to the engine. On this way, it is cleaned through a filter, getting rid of condensation and dirt. In terms of location, the fuel tank is located on the right side of the car. Due to the presence of a pressure equalization system, the safety of the third generation Ford Focus is ensured in the event of an accident. In order to minimize harmful emissions into the atmosphere, a carbon-based filter is used to remove harmful additives from the fuel.

Vortex quote sincere I was surprised to find that instead of half the tank it was empty... a simple look at the body showed that it had been drained!

Ford Focus hatchback tank volume - described in detail
Ford Focus is a compact C-class model, one of the most popular Ford models. It is a four-door sedan, as well as a five-door station wagon and a three/five-door hatchback. The car has been sold since 1998. The first generation Focus is based on the Ghia concept car, introduced back in 1991. The prototype design was first implemented in the Ford Ka (1996) and Ford Cougar (1998).
The first generation car was produced in the USA, Germany and Russia. As of 1999, more than half a million Focus cars of various modifications were produced and sold in Russia. In 1999, a crash test took place involving a Ford Focus hatchback with a 1.6-liter engine. The car received four stars for the safety of adult passengers.
Fuel tank characteristics
Basically, regardless of body type, the gas tank on a Ford Focus has approximately the same volume.
All models with a gasoline engine can hold 55 liters of fuel in the fuel tank. The exception is the Focus with a more powerful engine, the volume of which is 2.5 liters (the so-called Durotec-RS). The dimensions of this fuel tank can accommodate up to 62 liters of gasoline. This is explained by the fact that due to higher power, and therefore fuel consumption, a larger volume is required. The more economical diesel engines on the FordFocus had a slightly smaller fuel tank. It could hold 53 liters of fuel.

All figures are based on tests conducted by Ford on base-equipped vehicles with standard wheels and tires. Wheels and tires purchased as options or accessories may affect emissions and fuel consumption.
How fuel consumption is measured
All measurements and tests are carried out in laboratory conditions. When measuring fuel consumption in the urban cycle, the engine is started in a cold state. To ensure realistic conditions, the engine operates at different speeds. The maximum speed during testing is 50 km/h, the average speed is 19 km/h, the expected travel distance is 4 km. Immediately after the urban cycle, tests are carried out for the suburban cycle. Half of the improvised area moves at a constant speed. The maximum speed is 120 km/h, distance is 7 km. When calculating the indicators of a mixed cycle, the average values for previous cycles and the distance traveled in each of them are taken into account.

For some reason I have the number 55 in my head where it came from. I won’t argue, since I didn’t particularly bother with this issue.

When calculating on my computer, it fits minus 8-10 liters. At work ff2, 2006. it is put into the tank exactly according to calculations.
there was a story of traveling south. So we're going with 2 focus mines and 1.6 training ones. We refueled together, but I got closer to zero 30 km earlier than the 1.6. We are driving, there are 2 km left before the gas station and there are no gas stations, we stopped and smoked and we don’t know what to do. We decided where it would stall from there and pull it. We drove about another 70 km and then we stopped for gas, we thought that I was going on air!)) I think that there is at least 10 liters left when it says 0.
So as not to burn the fuel pump and not to sip mud from the bottom, there are 10-15 liters there. I drove 140km on mine at 0km when I showed it. And then I filled in 56 liters out of 63
