How much fuel does one gauge segment represent?
1 Answers
The amount of fuel represented by one segment on the fuel gauge varies depending on the car brand and model. For specific details, please refer to the vehicle's user manual. Here is relevant information: 1. Classification: As of August 2019, fuel gauges in vehicles on the market are divided into mechanical needle-type fuel gauges and electronic fuel gauges. Mechanical needle-type fuel gauges are the most traditional, displaying current remaining fuel through a pointer and scale, and are less prone to damage. Electronic fuel gauges are a newer type, directly displaying the remaining fuel quantity digitally on the car's LCD screen. Through computer calculations, electronic fuel gauges can also show comprehensive fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, and remaining driving range, making them very convenient, though they have a certain failure rate. 2. Refueling precautions: When refueling, do not wait until the car is completely out of fuel and the warning light comes on, as this can easily cause engine damage and reduce the engine's lifespan. Of course, when refueling, do not fill the tank completely, as this increases the vehicle's weight, leading to higher fuel consumption. If the fuel tank is too full, vigorous driving can cause fuel to spill out due to intense movement, creating a safety hazard.
