How many kilometers can a van run after the fuel light comes on?
1 Answers
A van can run approximately 50 kilometers after the fuel light comes on. Here are the specific details: 1. Precautions: When the fuel light comes on, the vehicle can typically run between 40 to 60 kilometers. It is advisable to refuel as soon as possible after the fuel light illuminates to avoid the risk of the engine stalling due to fuel depletion. 2. Risks: Frequently waiting until the fuel light comes on before refueling may damage the fuel pump and filter. The fuel level sensor inside the fuel pump includes a float potentiometer, which has a sliding resistor. When the fuel tank is full, the float's liquid level is at its highest point, and the potentiometer's resistance is at its lowest. Conversely, when the tank is empty, the opposite occurs. The filter is a component that uses filter paper to remove impurities or gases and is part of the engine's system.
