How Much Fuel Should Be Added to a Car?
1 Answers
It is advisable to fill the car's fuel tank to 80% of its capacity. Below are some precautions for refueling a car: 1. Do not rely solely on the fuel gauge on the car's dashboard: Most car fuel gauges operate via a float inside the tank that moves up and down, triggering an electronic sensor. This sensor sends an electronic signal to the fuel gauge needle, which then displays the fuel level. However, this method has a significant margin of error, and the markings on the fuel gauge do not accurately reflect the actual amount of fuel in the tank. 2. Do not exceed the safe capacity: Car owners are reminded that filling the tank to the brim can cause excess fuel to enter the fuel evaporation system pipeline, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture and potential engine damage. Therefore, it is recommended not to exceed the safe capacity specified in the car's manual to avoid safety hazards.
