What do the fuel tank symbols E and F on the car dashboard represent?
1 Answers
In general, the fuel tank symbol E represents an empty tank or that the fuel is about to run out, while the fuel tank symbol F indicates that the tank is full. Additional information about the car fuel tank is as follows: 1. It is not advisable to fill the fuel tank too full. If gasoline is overfilled, the high summer temperatures and the heat generated by the car itself can cause the gasoline to expand. This may lead to gasoline overflowing through the vent hole, which can result in spontaneous combustion if exposed to an open flame. Additionally, gasoline dripping from the vent hole can corrode the car body. 2. Overfilling the fuel tank can also easily block the vent hole. Once the vent hole is blocked, the pressure inside the tank will drop below normal, causing poor fuel supply or even a complete lack of fuel. Overfilling the tank also increases the car's weight, thereby increasing fuel consumption.
