How to Check Motorcycle Fuel Level?
1 Answers
Check the motorcycle's fuel gauge. 'F' indicates a full tank, while 'E' in the red zone indicates low fuel. When the fuel gauge needle points to the red zone near 'E', there is still approximately one-third to one-fourth of the total fuel capacity remaining in the tank, at which point the rider should refuel. For cross-type motorcycles, you can also rely on the fuel tank switch. After filling up, set the switch to the main tank. When the main tank runs out of fuel, switch to the reserve tank, and after refueling, switch back to the main tank. The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the vehicle's fuel tank. It can be either a pointer or a digital display. The fuel gauge consists of a stabilized fuel level indicator and a fuel level sensor. Refueling precautions: Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel. Since the fuel pump is located inside the tank and relies on fuel for cooling and lubrication, insufficient fuel can impair the pump's normal operation and reduce its lifespan. It is also not advisable to fill the tank completely. Gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into vapor, especially in high summer temperatures, requiring space to accommodate this. If the tank is filled to the brim with no space left, gasoline vapor or even liquid fuel may enter the carbon canister for storage. Once the canister is full, the excess will escape into the air, leading to waste and environmental pollution.
