Top 5 Cars With Smallest Fuel Tank Capacity: A Little More Than A Zippo

In today's era dominated by SUVs and MPVs, where spaciousness is a priority, it's worth taking a nostalgic trip back to the 1950s and 60s when the automobile industry focused on compact mobility. During that time, car manufacturers sought innovative ways to design remarkably small cars.?

These remarkably small cars came with intriguingly small fuel tanks. Here’s a list of the top 5 production cars with the smallest fuel tank capacities.

5. BMW Isetta?

Fuel Tank Capacity: 12.8 Litres

Production Years: 1955 to 1962

Production Numbers: Over 160,000 Units

Starting off at number five is the BMW Isetta, a famous microcar made by the German car manufacturer BMW . It was produced in the 1950s and early 1960s. The BMW Isetta was originally developed by the Italian firm Iso SpA. The Isetta is considered a microcar due to its tiny size. It features a unique front-opening door that serves as the entrance and the steering column moves along with the opening door, allowing easy access in tight parking spaces.

The Isetta's nickname "Bubble Car" comes from its distinctive shape, resembling a bubble with wheels. Early models of the Isetta were powered by a 250cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine producing 12hp. Later a 300cc engine replaced the 250cc mill and produced 1hp more than the old engine. The BMW Isetta was rated for a top speed of 85 km/h.
