How to Deal with a Stuck Fuel Float?
1 Answers
Fuel float stuck treatment method: The fuel pump needs to be removed for handling. The fuel float, which is the fuel tank's level sensor, is usually integrated with the fuel pump. Many people mistakenly think the fuel float is broken when it gets stuck, but in reality, it's just because the connecting rod between the fuel level sensor and the float is jammed, preventing the float from moving up and down normally. This situation can cause the fuel gauge needle to stay fixed at a certain position. The car fuel float can float on the surface of the gasoline, with one end of the lever being the float and the other end being a potentiometer. When the liquid level drops, the potentiometer rotates through the lever principle, generating different resistances and corresponding voltages at different positions, which can be observed on the vehicle's dashboard.
