How Many Kilometers Can a Car Run When the Fuel Light Comes On?

[AngeloLynn]

After the fuel light comes on, different car models can travel distances ranging from 30km to 135km. The fuel light turning on does not mean the tank is empty; there is still approximately 10L of fuel left in the tank. By considering the usual fuel consumption of the vehicle, you can calculate how many more kilometers the car can go. When the fuel light comes on, the best choice is to find a nearby gas station to refuel. Avoid running the tank empty before refueling: When the fuel level is low, significant tilting can affect the fuel pump's operation. Besides providing power, fuel also serves a cooling function. If the fuel pump operates without adequate cooling, there is a risk of overheating and damage. When the car is nearly out of fuel, the fuel pump will work harder to draw fuel, potentially sucking in impurities that can severely affect the engine's internal components. Do not drive more than 20 kilometers with low fuel: In special circumstances, drivers may need to decide whether to continue driving or stop to find a gas station. However, experts advise against deliberately testing this limit, as it may lead to vehicle damage if not handled carefully.
