Can a Car Still Run Without Fuel?

When the fuel gauge indicates empty, a car can typically continue to drive for approximately 70 kilometers. Below are specific details about a car's fuel tank: Marked capacity is the safe volume: The volume marked on most fuel tanks represents the safe capacity, which is generally about 10% less than the actual capacity. During the design of the fuel tank, considering the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of fuel, a certain amount of space must be left inside the tank after filling to the rated volume to prevent excessive internal pressure and ensure driving safety. Fuel gauge cannot accurately reflect fuel level: It is not possible to precisely determine the remaining fuel based solely on the fuel gauge on the dashboard, as it provides a qualitative indication rather than a quantitative measurement of the fuel in the tank.
