How many kilometers can the Classic Sylphy run after the fuel light comes on?
2 Answers
Sylphy can generally travel about 50KM after the fuel warning light comes on under normal driving conditions. However, it is not recommended to wait until the warning light appears to refuel, as the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication. Insufficient fuel volume will adversely affect the normal operation of the fuel pump and reduce its service life. More information about the fuel gauge is as follows: 1. Automotive fuel gauge: Used to indicate the remaining fuel quantity in the vehicle's fuel tank. It can be either a pointer or digital display. The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. The low fuel level warning device is designed to illuminate immediately when the fuel in the tank falls below a specified level, alerting the driver. 2. Automotive fuel warning light: When the fuel warning light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level has dropped below the fuel pump. The exposed fuel pump begins to overheat due to the lack of fuel cooling. Continuing to drive under these conditions will further expose the fuel pump and worsen the overheating. Therefore, it is not advisable to continue driving after the warning light comes on. Additionally, it is not recommended to fill the Sylphy's fuel tank to full capacity, as gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into gasoline vapor under high summer temperatures, requiring space 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. Once the carbon canister is full, the excess will escape into the air, leading to waste and environmental pollution.
I've been driving a classic Sylphy for several years. When the fuel light comes on, the car can usually run for about 50 to 80 kilometers, depending on road conditions. If driving on the highway or driving gently, fuel consumption may drop to around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing the remaining fuel to last longer. However, in city traffic jams, fuel consumption soars, and you might only get a little over 50 kilometers. I remember one time when the light came on, I drove 65 kilometers to the gas station without any issues, but it's advisable not to delay and to refuel promptly to protect the fuel pump. Too little fuel can cause the pump to overheat and damage it, making replacement costly and troublesome. Developing a habit of filling up the tank regularly is both safer and helps prolong the car's lifespan.
