How many kilometers can you drive after the fuel tank warning light comes on?
1 Answers
There is no unified standard for how far you can drive after the fuel tank warning light comes on, as different vehicle models naturally have different ranges. The general theoretical range is 40-50 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: Yellow fuel gauge light: This is just a warning. Product designers included this indicator light considering that some drivers do not check their fuel gauge. Therefore, refueling after the fuel tank warning light comes on is the default practice recommended by manufacturers and is not a significant issue. Additionally, the 50-kilometer range after the warning light comes on is sufficient to find a gas station and meet the cooling needs of the fuel pump. Note: Refueling after the fuel gauge warning light comes on is only suitable when a gas station can be found within a short distance. If the distance is too far, there is a risk of damaging the fuel pump and fuel level sensor.
