How to Check the Fuel Level in a Car?
2 Answers
To check if there is fuel in the car, simply look at the fuel gauge on the dashboard. F stands for full tank, and E stands for empty. Here is some relevant information: 1. General situation: The fuel gauge is usually divided into four large sections, with the section near E further divided into four small sections. When the pointer points to the last small section, most cars can still travel about 30 kilometers. Different models have different fuel tank volumes. Generally, small cars have a volume of about 50L to 55L, while off-road vehicles and SUVs have larger volumes. 2. When refueling: Always go to medium or large gas stations and avoid small private ones. If the car is filled with sulfur-containing low-quality gasoline, the oxygen sensor may be poisoned, leading to a series of problems, which can be quite troublesome.
I remember when I was first learning to drive, my instructor taught me to check the fuel gauge on the dashboard. There's a small needle pointing between E (Empty) and F (Full), or sometimes a digital display showing the remaining fuel. If it drops below a quarter, the fuel warning light starts flashing yellow or red, reminding you to refuel promptly. Don't wait until the light comes on to panic—finding a gas station is easy in the city, but on the highway, you need to plan ahead. Before long trips, I always make it a habit to check the fuel level, along with the tires and coolant reservoir. These small details ensure a safe journey. Running out of gas is a hassle—it can damage the engine and waste money on towing. Make it a natural habit to glance at the dashboard before starting the car, just like buckling your seatbelt. Also, in older cars, the fuel gauge might not be accurate. If it suddenly drops quickly, get the sensor checked early to avoid unexpected fuel shortages.
