How Much Fuel Should Be Added to a Sedan?
1 Answers
When refueling a sedan, remember two percentages: 25% and 80%. You should refuel when the remaining fuel in the tank is at 25%, and filling it up to 80% is the most suitable. The 25% refers to the timing for refueling. When the fuel level drops to 1/4 of the tank's capacity, it's time to refuel. If you wait until the tank is nearly empty, the accumulated impurities at the bottom of the tank can be drawn into the fuel system, causing poor fuel delivery. Additionally, an almost empty tank tends to contain air, which can form condensation due to significant day-night temperature differences. This moisture can mix with the gasoline, leading to poor combustion. The 80% refers to the amount of fuel to add. For short trips in the city, there's no need to fill the tank completely, as this adds unnecessary weight to the vehicle and increases fuel consumption. Therefore, filling up to 80% is sufficient. The amount of fuel to add should also vary depending on the age of the vehicle. Newer cars generally have lower fuel consumption, so they require less fuel, which also helps in maintaining the vehicle better. As the vehicle ages, its fuel consumption will gradually increase. During this stage, the amount of fuel added should also be increased accordingly. In summary, the amount of fuel added each time is directly proportional to the age of the vehicle.
