What Causes the Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading on the Jog?

[LeoAnn]

Here are the specific reasons for the inaccurate fuel gauge reading on the Jog: Fuel Pump Design Issues: This is usually manifested as a slow drop in the fuel gauge needle in the first half of the gauge, followed by a rapid drop after passing the midpoint. However, the inconsistent speed of the fuel gauge needle is related to the design of the fuel pump used to reflect fuel levels. It cannot uniformly reflect fuel consumption because achieving such a consistent change is difficult, and it cannot be altered by repairing or replacing parts. Fuel Level Sensor Malfunction: The fuel gauge's indication depends on the fuel level sensor. It is possible that the fuel level sensor becomes contaminated due to dirt and is not cleaned in time. Since the fuel level sensor is constantly immersed in fuel, prolonged exposure can lead to contamination, directly affecting the accuracy of the reading.
