Does 'E' Mean Having Fuel or Not?
1 Answers
E indicates no fuel, while F means sufficient fuel. When the vehicle is low on fuel, the dashboard will illuminate a fuel warning light, which typically appears as a fuel tank icon. When fuel is low, the warning light will turn yellow; when fuel is critically low, it will turn red. Some vehicle models only display a yellow warning light. The impacts of low fuel levels include: 1. Fuel sloshing causing the engine to stall: When the fuel level is too low, fuel can slosh in bumpy or winding roads; 2. Fuel pump overheating: The fuel pump relies on fuel for cooling. If fuel levels are too low, the cooling efficiency decreases, accelerating wear on internal components and potentially causing short circuits or burnout; 3. Clogging the fuel system: Sediments at the bottom of the fuel tank can enter the fuel supply system due to fuel sloshing when levels are low, leading to blockages in the fuel lines.
