What is the difference between the yellow and red fuel tank warning lights?
1 Answers
The difference between the yellow and red fuel gauge warning lights is that the yellow light indicates sufficient fuel, while the red light indicates low fuel. Details are as follows: 1. Yellow light: Due to various influencing factors, the car's fuel gauge cannot accurately reflect the actual fuel level and often serves only as a reference value. The yellow light is designed by car designers as a reminder to the driver. When the fuel gauge shows a yellow light, there is still a certain amount of fuel left in the tank, typically enough to allow the car to travel approximately 50 kilometers. 2. Red light: If the driver does not refuel promptly after the yellow light comes on, the fuel gauge will eventually display a red light after some time. Even if the driver refuels at this point, significant damage to the car can still occur. This is because the remaining fuel is nearly depleted. If the car shakes while driving, the fuel inside the tank will also slosh noticeably, which can prevent the fuel pump from drawing fuel properly, leading to engine stalling.
