How many kilometers can you drive when the fuel tank warning light turns yellow?
1 Answers
When the fuel tank warning light turns yellow in most vehicles, fuel-efficient cars can typically travel about 40 kilometers, while vehicles with higher fuel consumption may only manage around 20 kilometers. Continuing to drive after the fuel warning light comes on can be harmful to the car. Here are the specific details: 1. Driving with the fuel warning light on is known as 'low-fuel driving,' which can damage the fuel pump. 2. The fuel pump generates heat during operation. During low-fuel driving, if the remaining gasoline is insufficient to cover the fuel pump, it cannot dissipate heat effectively, shortening its lifespan. A more significant issue is the safety hazard, as the car is highly likely to run out of fuel and break down on the road.
