What do the letters E and F on the fuel gauge mean?
1 Answers
The letter E on the fuel gauge stands for empty, using the first letter of the word 'empty', while the opposite letter F stands for full, derived from the word 'full'. Here is some relevant information: 1. When the car's fuel tank is full, the fuel gauge needle will point towards the letter F. When the fuel gauge needle points to E, a gas station symbol will light up on the dashboard, indicating that the fuel in the tank is only enough to drive for a dozen or so kilometers, and you should go to a gas station to refuel as soon as possible. 2. The principle of the fuel gauge display is actually like having a float in the fuel tank. The float sends different signals at different positions, and the instrument panel receives these different signals to display the current fuel level. You may have noticed that when the vehicle is on bumpy roads or going up and down slopes, the fuel gauge needle may swing, and the fuel tank warning light may come on.
