How Long Can You Drive After the Fuel Tank Light Comes On?

[LeLandon]

There is no uniform standard for how long you can drive after the fuel tank light comes on, as different car models and fuel consumption rates determine the remaining range. According to the theoretical values in the car's manual, it is generally 40-50 kilometers. Below are the factors that determine the remaining range: 1. Actual driving conditions differ significantly from theoretical values. The remaining range in kilometers depends on road conditions, driving habits, and other factors. A full tank of fuel generally supports driving approximately 600 kilometers and will not be less than 500 kilometers. 2. The nominal capacity is usually less than the actual capacity. Based on fuel safety regulations, national standards stipulate that the nominal capacity of a car's fuel tank is 95% of the rated capacity. Therefore, when the tank is full, it can hold about 10% more fuel than the nominal capacity.
