1st gen ford explorer fuel gauge level adjustment

1.The inaccurate fuel gauge may be due to the failure of the display system or the measuring system of the fuel gauge. It is recommended that the fuel gauge be repaired as soon as possible because the inaccurate fuel gauge may cause the vehicle to run out of fuel and the vehicle to break down on the road, which will be very troublesome;

2.First, let's understand the structure and working principle of the gasoline meter: the fuel meter has two systems, one is the display system and the other is the measurement system. The display system shows how much oil is left in the tank, and the measurement system measures how much oil is left in the tank; To put it simply, the signal of the measuring system is sent to the display system, which is displayed by the oil gauge. The measuring system is composed of a float, a metal rod and a variable resistance in the oil tank. The position of the float on the oil level in the oil tank changes, and the oil quantity will be measured through the position change of the metal rod and the position change on the variable resistance;

3. We have learned the principle of the fuel gauge, and the common fault points are: the float in the gasoline pump may be faulty, which leads to inaccurate fuel gauge. So it is recommended to check this part. If it is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Remind me that some cars can be replaced separately, but some cars cannot be replaced separately. If it cannot be replaced separately, it needs to replace the gasoline pump assembly.

The fuel consumption display of Ford Explorer can be adjusted by adjusting the button on the right side of the steering wheel. Fuel consumption includes average fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel consumption. The average fuel consumption is the fuel consumption per driving distance of the vehicle. The common unit is liter/100km (L/100km), which is the fuel consumption per 100km. Instantaneous fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle at a certain moment. The unit vehicle displays "liter/hundred kilometers (L/100Km)" when working, and "liter/hour (L/H)" when the engine is running but the vehicle is stopped. The methods to improve the fuel consumption of the vehicle are as follows: 1. Drive at a constant speed. Adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving to prevent sudden braking; 2. Do not open the window when the vehicle is driving at high speed. When the running speed is relatively high, opening the window will increase fuel consumption. 3. Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure that the tire pressure is accurate. If there is not enough or too much gas, it will basically lead to deterioration of fuel consumption, so it is necessary to regularly check the tire pressure. 4. Pay attention to transmission maintenance, and replace the transmission oil suitable for the vehicle. Transmission oil not only has the function of lubrication, but also transmits torque. Of course, it must be replaced regularly.
