What does the EF on the car fuel gauge represent?
1 Answers
The EF on the car fuel gauge represents the current fuel level in the tank. E stands for empty, meaning when the gauge needle points to E, the fuel warning light on the dashboard will illuminate to remind the driver to refuel. F stands for full, indicating that the needle will point to F when the tank is completely filled with fuel. The working principle of the fuel gauge is similar to having a float in the fuel tank. The float sends different signals at different positions, and the dashboard displays the current fuel level based on these received signals. When the vehicle is on bumpy roads or going uphill/downhill, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate and the fuel warning light may illuminate. This occurs because various movements during driving can cause changes in the float's height position. Therefore, it's recommended to check the fuel level when the car is on flat ground.
