How to Read the Fuel Gauge in a Sedan?
2 Answers
There are two types of automobile fuel gauges: pointer-type and digital-type. The specific methods to check are as follows: 1. Pointer-type: The amount of fuel is indicated by the position of the pointer. The gauge is marked with two letters, E and F, where F stands for full and E for empty. 2. Digital-type gauge: The remaining fuel is indicated by the number of illuminated bars. More illuminated bars mean more fuel is left. Information about fuel gauges is as follows: 1. Fuel gauge: It can use oval gear flow meters or turbine flow meters to measure the volumetric flow of liquids such as diesel, gasoline, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, fuel oil, engine oil, kerosene, etc. 2. Category: Oval gear flow meters belong to a type of positive displacement flow meters and are among the more accurate types in flow measurement instruments.
After years of driving, I habitually glance at the round gauge in the middle of the dashboard, which displays the fuel level. The left side is marked with 'E' indicating empty, while the right side 'F' means full. When the needle points to 'E', the tank is dangerously low, making it risky to drive to a gas station; when it aligns with 'F', it means the tank has just been filled. Many car models also include a digital display showing the remaining kilometers or a warning light flashing to remind you to refuel. I remember once on the highway when the fuel was low, the needle was close to 'E', the light turned yellow and beeped, prompting me to quickly exit the ramp and fill up to avoid breaking down and causing an accident. So, I always keep at least half a tank to prevent emergencies. Checking it only requires a quick glance—no need to be too deliberate—and making it a habit can save a lot of hassle.
