How many kilometers can a car still run when the fuel gauge reaches the red line?
1 Answers
Generally, when the fuel gauge needle reaches the red line, the car's fuel tank has about 10% of fuel left, which can allow the car to continue driving for an average of 20-60 kilometers, depending on the specific model. Here are two suggestions regarding refueling: 1. Do not 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, insufficient fuel will adversely affect the normal operation of the fuel pump and reduce its service life. 2. It is not recommended to fill the tank completely when refueling: Since gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into gasoline vapor under high temperatures in summer, space is needed to accommodate this. If the tank is filled to the brim without any space, gasoline vapor or even liquid gasoline may enter the carbon canister for storage. When the carbon canister is full, it will escape into the air, which not only wastes fuel but also pollutes the environment.
