How many kilometers can the new Santana run after the fuel tank warning light comes on?
2 Answers
New Santana can run 80-100 kilometers after the fuel tank warning light comes on. Here are the meanings and solutions when the fuel tank light comes on: Meanings of the fuel tank light: If the fuel tank light comes on, the owner does not need to worry too much, because there is still some remaining fuel in the tank at this time, which can ensure that the car can drive safely for a certain distance. In fact, the fuel tank light mainly reminds the driver that the vehicle needs to be refueled, so find the nearest gas station as soon as possible. Solutions for fuel gauge warning: When the owner drives out and encounters the fuel gauge warning, try to reduce fuel consumption. At this time, turn off the air conditioner and the car's power-consuming equipment, so that the car can run with the lowest power consumption, and at the same time, keep the car running at a constant speed. Of course, the most effective way to avoid running out of fuel is to observe how much fuel is left in the tank before going on a long trip. If it is not enough, please go to the gas station to refuel immediately.
As someone who's driven a new Santana for eight years, I'm quite the authority on this. When the fuel light comes on, there's roughly 6-7 liters left in the tank. With a combined fuel consumption of 6L/100km, you might squeeze out just over 100km at most. But never trust that maximum range - last time I tried pushing it to reach a service area after the light came on, the engine suddenly cut out during a downhill slope and nearly caused an accident. Now I always carry a fuel canister and refuel within 30km after the light appears. Experienced drivers know - the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling. Driving long distances with low fuel levels is terrible for your car, and replacing a fuel pump costs ten times more than filling up your tank.
