What are the symptoms of a faulty fuel level sender?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a faulty fuel level sender include the fuel gauge not displaying the fuel level or displaying inaccurately, making it impossible for the driver to know the amount of gasoline in the fuel tank. The fuel level sender, also known as the fuel tank float, is commonly referred to as the fuel gauge sensor. Generally, the fuel level sender is integrated with the fuel pump. The float stays on the surface of the fuel by buoyancy, and the position of the float indicates the liquid level. By knowing the height of the liquid level and the shape of the fuel tank, the volume of fuel in the tank can be determined. Currently, there are not many ways to prevent damage to the fuel level sender since it is located inside the fuel tank. The best approach is to choose higher-quality gasoline, as cleaner gasoline reduces impurities in the fuel pump, significantly lowering the probability of fuel gauge malfunctions. Additionally, regular cleaning of the fuel system and fuel tank can be considered.
