How to Check Fuel Level When the Fuel Gauge is Broken?
1 Answers
The method to check fuel level when the fuel gauge is broken is: estimate remaining fuel based on the amount of fuel added, usual consumption, and distance traveled. The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel in the car's fuel tank, and the function of its low-fuel warning device is to immediately illuminate an alert when the fuel in the tank falls below a certain level, to draw the driver's attention. The reasons for a broken fuel gauge are: 1. Poor contact or severe wear of the fuel level sensor's sliding resistor; 2. Abnormal instrument circuit or loose/aged electrical components; 3. Deformed fuel tank or abnormal bracket; 4. Loose connections or open circuits inside the engine module; 5. Loose grounding wires of the vehicle's fuel level sensor or fuel pump wiring harness.
