How much fuel is left when the fuel warning light comes on?

The fuel warning light indicates there are approximately 10-12 liters of fuel remaining in the tank. It is recommended to refuel promptly when the light comes on. Here is relevant information: 1. Yellow fuel warning light: This is simply a warning designed by manufacturers for drivers who might not regularly check their fuel gauge. Refueling after the warning light comes on is considered normal practice by automakers, as the remaining fuel (about 50km range) is sufficient to locate a gas station and meet the oil pump cooling requirements. 2. Reasons for oil pressure warning light: Insufficient engine oil level reduces oil pump output or prevents pumping due to air intake, leading to decreased oil pressure.
I remember last time I was driving to the suburbs when the fuel light suddenly came on, and my heart skipped a beat. Generally, at this point, there's about 10% to 15% of fuel left in the tank, depending on the vehicle size. For my compact car, it could still go about 50 to 80 kilometers. But never take the risk—running the fuel pump dry can damage the engine. That time, I almost stalled on the highway and had to quickly find the nearest service area to refuel. Make it a habit to check the navigation for the nearest gas station as soon as the light comes on—safety first.
Buddy, the fuel light is no small matter—it usually means you've got about 10% left in the tank. My SUV can still go 40 to 60 kilometers after the light comes on, but don't push it unless you want to call a tow truck. I always track mileage with the fuel gauge or set alerts on my phone app. When fuel consumption's high, I refuel early to save my wallet the pain.
