How Long Can a Honda Keep Driving with the Yellow Light On?
1 Answers
A Honda can continue to drive for about 50 kilometers after the yellow fuel light comes on. Don't wait until the warning light comes on to refuel: Because the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication, having too little fuel can negatively affect the pump's normal operation and reduce its lifespan. It's not recommended to fill the tank completely when refueling: Because gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into gasoline vapor under high summer temperatures, there needs to be space to accommodate this. If the tank is filled to the brim with no space left, gasoline vapor or even liquid gasoline can enter the carbon canister for storage. When the carbon canister is full, the excess escapes into the air, which is not only wasteful but also pollutes the environment.
