Do Cars Have a Reserve Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
Cars do have a reserve fuel tank. It is located next to the main fuel tank and is connected to an auxiliary diesel tank. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is running low, and when it is near F, it indicates sufficient fuel. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key opening: This is usually found in some rugged off-road vehicles. Nowadays, most family cars do not use mechanical keys to open the fuel tank because it is relatively complicated to operate. In-car switch method: The in-car fuel tank switch is located in different positions depending on the car model. Some are on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, some on the left front door panel or the center console, all marked with a fuel pump symbol. However, it is important to note that the in-car switch can easily lead to the owner forgetting to turn off the engine before refueling, so the owner must remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open method: The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The owner only needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can press to open it for refueling. However, when the car is not parked for refueling, the owner must remember to lock the central control, otherwise the fuel tank cap can be opened.
