fuel gauge with low level light

When the fuel gauge light of the car shows that the range is 0, the car can actually drive about 10km. The designer designed a range of 0, which is mainly to attract the attention of the driver and remind the driver to fill up at the gas station in time. Avoid causing damage to the car and driving without gasoline.

What is the meaning of low fuel level:

Low fuel level means that there is less gasoline in the vehicle fuel tank, and the vehicle needs to be refueled in time. Generally, when the pointer of the fuel gauge is in the red zone, the trip computer will indicate that the fuel level is low, and the low fuel warning light will be on at the same time. When we fill the vehicle with fuel, the "low fuel level" prompt will disappear automatically when the sensor detects that the fuel volume returns to normal.

How many kilometers can I walk when the fuel level is low:

This depends on the specific vehicle model and the driver's driving habits. Generally speaking, the vehicle can drive at least 20-50 km after the low fuel level prompt lights up, Some models can even travel 100 kilometers. However, when the fuel warning light is on in the vehicle, we should refuel as soon as possible to avoid the embarrassment of "lying down". The amount of fuel is controlled by the float sensor in the fuel tank. After the sensor detects the fuel position, it feeds this signal back to the ECU, which then feeds it back to the instrument panel through comprehensive analysis. If the fuel quantity is too low, the fuel indicator will be on.

There are two main factors that cause the fuel indicator lamp to light up:

1. Fuel level position. The float sensor transmits this information by simply judging the liquid level position. It can be said that it is also related to the shape of the fuel tank, but in this respect, there is not much difference between different models.

2. Average fuel consumption in the near future. It is mainly a standard considered by ECU. If you drive in the urban area, stop and go, and the average fuel consumption is high, the indicator light will light up early; If you are driving at a high speed and the average fuel consumption is low, the indicator will light up later. The design is quite user-friendly. Some cars may not be equipped with this feature.
