boat fuel gauge erratic

The boat fuel gauge erratic . The boat fuel gauge displays high and low . The main problem is the oil level sensor . If it is a new ship , it is a common occurrence that the fuel is high and low . It is recommended to choose a better fuel when refuelling , because clean gasoline will reduce the impurities in the pump and reduce the probability of failure of the fuel gauge.

The boat fuel gauge is used to indicate how much fuel is available in the fuel tank . It is composed of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a height sensor that senses the fuel level . When the fuel is lower than a certain limit value , the display will light up and give an alarm to remind the driver . However , some people will find that the fuel gauge is sometimes not so accurate .

This is often the case . The oil representative does not change at a uniform speed . For example , the first half of the oil can travel 300 kilometers , while the second half can only travel 100 kilometers . This key is related to the design of the oil pump used to reflect the fuel volume . It cannot reflect the change of gasoline consumption evenly . After all , such an absolute uniform change is very difficult to achieve .

When the boat fuel level drops to zero suddenly , the indicator of the fuel gauge reflects the fuel level through the sensor. If there is still a lot of fuel, and the indicator drops to zero suddenly , it is likely that there is a problem with the vehicle's fuel level sensor. Since fuel consumption requires a process , half of the tank of fuel will not suddenly disappear . The sensor may be damaged or covered by dirt .

The scale of the fuel gauge rises. Sometimes it seems that the scale of the boat fuel gauge does not work and stays at a certain position. Or after driving for a certain distance , the indicator unexpectedly rises abnormally . The key reason for this situation is that the connecting rod between the oil level sensor and the float is stuck, so that the float can not float left and right normally, and the sensor will not change.
