How many kilometers can you drive after the car's fuel light comes on?
1 Answers
When the fuel gauge red light comes on, the car can usually travel an additional 30-50 kilometers. Extended information: 1. According to standard fuel consumption calculations, driving within 20 kilometers after the fuel light comes on is still relatively safe. Beyond this range, you should drive cautiously and it's best to prepare gasoline in advance. 2. The actual distance you can travel also depends on various factors such as the driver's habits, skills, vehicle load, fuel-saving techniques, road conditions, and weather. 3. After the fuel light comes on, refuel as soon as possible. 4. Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel because the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. 5. The fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication. Insufficient fuel can adversely affect the pump's normal operation and reduce its service life.
