ford explorer fuel gauge level adjustment forum
1.The inaccurate fuel gauge may be due to a malfunction in the display system or measurement system of the fuel gauge. It is recommended to repair the problem as soon as possible, as inaccurate fuel gauges can cause the vehicle to run out of fuel and become stuck on the road, which can be very troublesome;
2. Let's first understand the structure and working principle of a gasoline gauge: the gauge has two systems: a display system and a measurement system. The display system displays how much oil is left in the tank, and the measurement system measures how much oil is left in the tank; Simply put, the signal from the measurement system is sent to the display system, which displays it through the oil gauge. The measurement system is composed of a float, a metal rod, and a variable resistor inside the fuel tank. The position of the float on the oil level in the fuel tank changes, and it will be measured by the position change of the metal rod and then the position change on the variable resistor.
3. We have already understood the principle of the fuel gauge, and common fault points include: the float in the gasoline pump may have malfunctioned, causing the fuel gauge to be inaccurate. So it is recommended to check this component and replace it if it is damaged. Please be reminded that some cars can be replaced separately, but others cannot. If it cannot be replaced separately, the gasoline pump assembly needs to be replaced.
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 amount of fuel used per distance traveled by a vehicle, commonly measured in liters per hundred kilometers (L/100km), which is the fuel consumption per hundred kilometers. Instantaneous fuel consumption represents the fuel consumption of a vehicle at a certain moment, and the unit of vehicle operation displays "liters/hundred kilometers (L/100Km)"; Display "liters per hour (L/H)" when the engine is running but the vehicle is stopped.
The methods to improve vehicle fuel consumption include:
1. Drive at a constant speed, adjust the speed of the vehicle while driving to prevent sudden braking;
2. Do not open windows while driving at high speeds. When the running speed is relatively high, opening the window will increase fuel consumption;
3. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure accurate tire pressure. If there is not enough or too much gas, it will basically cause fuel consumption to deteriorate, so it is necessary to regularly check the tire pressure;
4. Pay attention to transmission maintenance and replace the transmission oil that is suitable for the vehicle. Transmission oil not only has the function of lubrication, but also transmits torque, and of course, it must be replaced regularly.
