Can a Car Start When It's Out of Fuel?
2 Answers
Car can start when it's out of fuel, but it cannot drive. The following is a detailed introduction about engine oil: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with the English name Engine-oil. Its density is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It can lubricate and reduce wear on the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining the basic properties of the lubricant. Additives can compensate for and improve the deficiencies of the base oil, giving it certain new properties, and are an important part of the lubricant.
That time when I was driving out, my car ran out of fuel halfway and stalled. When I tried to restart it, I heard the starter motor clicking, but the engine didn't respond at all. Later, I asked a mechanic and realized that attempting to start it at this point would only drain the battery without any success. Now, I always pay close attention to the fuel gauge warning light and refuel when it reaches a quarter tank. If you ever run out of fuel, never repeatedly try to start the car—it not only damages the starter motor but could also drain the battery to the point where you can't even lock the doors. The best course of action is to call for roadside assistance or borrow a fuel can from a nearby gas station. Also, be aware that some older cars have inaccurate fuel gauges; even when the warning light is on, you might still drive a dozen kilometers, but don't take the risk—finding a gas station is the safest option.
