Which one between E and F indicates no fuel in a car?
1 Answers
F stands for a full tank of fuel, where F is the abbreviation of the English word FULL; E is the abbreviation of EMPTY, indicating no fuel. The fuel gauge is located directly in front of the driver's position, on the same dashboard as indicators for water temperature, RPM, speed, etc. Each gauge is distinguished by a simple icon. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements, as larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also tend to have higher fuel consumption because greater weight demands more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. During daily driving, it's essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it's advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by car manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe level, leaving some space from the safe level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
