boat fuel gauge not working

What happened when the boat was refueled but the fuel gauge not working ? When encountering an emergency, it is inevitable that people will be frustrated because they are "deceived" by the boat fuel gauge. Here is a brief talk about the working principle of the fuel gauge. The main reason for the failure of the oil gauge is the disaster caused by the oil level sensor. Generally, the following conditions may occur when the oil gauge is not calibrated correctly:

The first is that the scale of the boat fuel gauge is fast and slow, and the specific realization is that the scale of the oil gauge is fast and slow. This kind of fuel gauge failure is quite common. Generally, in the first half of the car, the fuel gauge of many models will drop slowly, and after the middle scale, it will drop faster. This is mainly related to the design of the oil pump used to reflect the oil volume. It can not reflect the change of gasoline consumption evenly. After all, this absolute uniform change is difficult to achieve, and it is not easy to change through maintenance and replacement of parts.

Second, the boat fuel gauge scale suddenly drops to zero. On the way, I saw that there were still two spaces left, but after driving for a certain distance, it fell to zero directly. The indication of the oil gauge almost depends on the oil level sensor, so the pointer of the oil gauge is actually a visual representation of the oil level sensor. If the boat has been used for more than 5 years and the indication of the oil gauge is inaccurate, it is likely that the oil level sensor is physically worn and cannot continue to work normally.

Third, the scale of the boat fuel gauge rises, and the pointer of the oil gauge stays at a certain position all the time. Some even travel for a certain distance, and the displayed value of the scale rises. The main reason for this is that the connecting rod between the oil level sensor and the float is stuck, making the float unable to float up and down normally, so that the sensor will not change, so the oil gauge pointer is fixed at a certain position.

How to make the boat fuel gauge indicate correctly? First, try to choose gasoline with better oil quality. Clean gasoline will reduce impurities in the oil pump, greatly reducing the probability of failure of the fuel gauge. Secondly, the oil circuit and fuel tank shall be cleaned regularly.
