There is no unified standard for how far you can drive after the fuel tank warning light comes on. Different vehicle models naturally have different ranges, and this value can usually be found in the car's manual. Generally, the theoretical range is 40-50 kilometers. Relevant information about the car fuel tank is as follows: Introduction: The car fuel tank is the full name of the automobile fuel tank. Currently, with the development of the automotive industry and the revitalization of the domestic automotive industry, the demand for car fuel tanks from major automobile manufacturers is showing a significant growth trend. Design Principle: Utilizing the heat energy generated by the engine during operation, a thermal circulation system is added between the engine, fuel tank, and radiator. The original single fuel tank design is transformed into a combined fuel tank consisting of a main tank and an auxiliary tank.

Last month I experienced this exact situation during a long-distance drive, when I stubbornly pushed 50 kilometers after the fuel tank warning light came on before finding a gas station. But this really depends on the car model - most regular family cars can typically run 60-80 kilometers after the fuel gauge warning, like my old Toyota which actually made it 72 kilometers before completely stalling. I recommend you immediately turn on navigation to locate the nearest gas station, preferably within 30 kilometers. Remember to turn off the AC to save fuel, and maintain a steady speed between 60-80 km/h for optimal efficiency. A friend of mine once pushed until the fuel pump couldn't draw gas on the highway, ending up spending much more money repairing the fuel system - definitely not worth the risk.

What to Do When Your Car Gets Scratched and the Culprit Can't Be Found?

Here are the solutions when your car gets scratched and the culprit can't be found: 1. Check the dashcam. High-quality dashcams can clearly record real-time situations from all angles. By reviewing the footage and screenshots, you can identify the target and find the culprit. 2. Report to the police promptly. After filing a case, the police will investigate using various technical means. 3. Contact your insurance company. Important notes: If the scratch is minor, try to avoid making a claim because payouts are calculated based on the number of claims, which can lead to increased premiums. If your car is scratched, stay at the scene and don't leave, otherwise you'll only receive 70% of the payout. For severe damage, you can file a claim under the comprehensive car insurance. Before contacting the insurance company, consider whether it's worth it.

What procedures are required for car color change?

The "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form", original and photocopies of the identity proofs of the vehicle owner and agent, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the motor vehicle driving license are the necessary procedures for applying to change the color of a motor vehicle's body. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to go through the modification registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be filed and recorded, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the vehicle color change. Precautions for vehicle wrap color change: Before preparing to change the color of a vehicle wrap, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to see if the region allows the use of wraps to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be filed, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office for modification registration. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration in the following cases: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use or vice versa. The owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles should be painted with specified patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are not allowed to paint, install, or use the above-mentioned special or similar patterns, alarms, or signal lights. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without going through the modification registration as required, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.
