How to Check the Remaining Fuel in the Tank?
1 Answers
Both analog and digital fuel gauges require the vehicle to be started before readings can be taken. The analog fuel gauge is marked with two letters, E and F. E stands for Empty, indicating the tank is empty, while F stands for Full, indicating the tank is full. The closer the needle is to the letter F, the more fuel remains; the closer it is to the letter E, the less fuel remains. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates that the remaining fuel is low and refueling is needed as soon as possible. Below are some additional details: 1. The fuel gauge only provides a rough estimate of the fuel level and cannot display the exact remaining amount, serving merely as a reference for the driver. For example, a digital fuel gauge might show a remaining range of 300 kilometers, but in reality, due to factors like road conditions and vehicle status, the actual range might only be 150 kilometers. 2. The fuel system mainly consists of four parts: the fuel gauge, sensor circuit, variable resistor, and float. When the tank is full, the resistance value of the variable resistor connected to the float decreases, causing the circuit current to reach its maximum. At this point, the fuel gauge needle is at its highest position. As the fuel level drops, the resistance value of the variable resistor increases, reducing the circuit current and causing the fuel gauge needle to lower accordingly.
