How many kilometers can the new Excelle run after the fuel gauge light comes on?
2 Answers
The new Excelle can run about 40 kilometers without any problem after the fuel gauge light comes on, but try not to take this risk unless absolutely necessary. Function of fuel gauge light: The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. It can be either a pointer or a digital display. The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. The function of the low fuel level warning device is to immediately light up and alert when the amount of fuel in the fuel tank is less than a certain specified value, to attract the driver's attention. Composition structure of fuel gauge: Pointer fuel gauges are divided into combined and separate types. Combined instruments are more common on scooters, consisting of a fuel gauge combined with a tachometer, odometer, water temperature gauge, charging ammeter, etc., forming a large instrument combination. The separate fuel gauge is composed of a single fuel gauge, which is more common in retro models and cruiser motorcycles.
When the fuel warning light comes on in the New Excelle, I always remind myself not to be overly optimistic. The general rule is that you can still drive about 60 to 80 kilometers, but don't bet on reaching the upper limit. The car's fuel tank capacity is around 50 liters, and when the light comes on, there's approximately 5-7 liters left, calculated based on an average fuel consumption of 7-9 liters per 100 kilometers. In reality, how far you can go entirely depends on your driving style: steady driving on the highway might get you up to 100 kilometers, while stop-and-go traffic in the city with sudden acceleration could reduce it to less than 40 kilometers. Once, when the light came on in the suburbs, I risked driving 70 kilometers before refueling, only to end up with a burned-out fuel pump and repair costs of several hundred dollars. So my advice is: as soon as the light comes on, immediately navigate to the nearest gas station, preferably within 10 kilometers; and make it a habit to refuel when the tank is half full to avoid last-minute scrambles. Safe driving is more important than saving time, and regular maintenance can help prevent these issues in advance.
