Why Doesn't the Fuel Gauge Rise After Refueling the Car?

2 Answers

There are several reasons why the fuel gauge doesn't rise after refueling: instrument damage, wiring damage, or fuel float damage. Inspection methods: Check the wiring. If normal, remove the fuel float and move it up and down manually. If it moves, the fuel float is damaged. If it doesn't move, check the fuel gauge. Fuel gauge: The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. It can be either a pointer or a digital display. The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. The low fuel level warning device alerts the driver when the fuel in the tank falls below a certain level.

Speaking of the fuel gauge not moving, I've encountered a similar issue before. After refueling, the needle still stayed at the low level, which was quite nerve-wracking. The main problem might be that the float inside the fuel tank got stuck. That little thing moves up and down like a buoy with the fuel level. If it's trapped at the bottom by sludge or debris, the fuel gauge will display incorrectly. It could also be that the float didn't rise due to sudden pressure changes in the tank during refueling, or the dashboard sensor might be aging and malfunctioning. I once tried turning the engine off and restarting several times, and occasionally the needle would move briefly, but it didn't last. Eventually, I went to a repair shop and found out it was a blown fuse—a simple replacement fixed it. Additional advice: don't wait until the tank is empty to refuel; keeping some reserve can reduce the risk of the float getting stuck. If this happens before a long trip, get it checked immediately to avoid the embarrassment of pushing the car midway like my friend did.

Why does an Audi shake and stall during cold starts?

Audi vehicles shaking and stalling during cold starts are primarily caused by excessive carbon buildup. Excessive carbon deposits can lead to insufficient air intake, making it difficult to start the engine or causing it to shake and stall. Carbon buildup typically occurs in several areas, including the inner walls of the throttle body, the intake valve heads, the inner walls of the intake manifold, the piston tops, and the inner walls of the combustion chamber. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Excessive carbon deposits on the inner walls of the throttle body can result in insufficient air intake, making it difficult to start the engine or causing it to stall easily at idle. Once the coolant temperature reaches the engine's normal operating temperature, the throttle opening may exceed the normal idle value, causing the ECU to repeatedly adjust the throttle valve position. This results in fluctuating idle speeds and shaking or stalling during startup. 2. Heavy carbon buildup on the intake valve heads can cause most of the fuel injected by the fuel injector during a cold start to be absorbed by the carbon deposits. This leads to insufficient fuel entering the combustion chamber, resulting in a lean mixture that is difficult to ignite. Only after multiple injections during cranking does enough fuel enter the combustion chamber for ignition. In such cases, the engine is prone to shaking and stalling during startup.

What is the reason for the air release sound after the turbo kicks in on the Haval H6?

Haval H6 turbo kicks in after the air release sound is the sound of the pressure relief valve working, which is a normal phenomenon. Turbo working principle: When the turbo starts working while accelerating, it compresses a large amount of air and pushes it through the throttle into the engine combustion chamber. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the throttle closes. However, the turbo blades do not stop working immediately. At this time, there is still residual compressed air in the intake pipe between the turbo and the throttle. If this air is not released in time, the strong pressure can cause damage to the throttle and turbo blades. Function of the pressure relief valve: The valve of the pressure relief valve will release the residual compressed air in the pipe in time when it detects that the air pressure in the intake pipe is too high, thereby protecting the throttle and turbo blades. It also reduces the occurrence of turbo lag, making the engine work more smoothly. The air release sound heard is the "noise" generated when the pressure relief valve discharges the compressed air.

What is the reason why the Geely slow charging port cover cannot be opened?

Geely slow charging port cover may not open because it is stuck. You can open it normally by loosening the screws or clips. All charging ports for electrical appliances that require charging either have no cover or have covers that are secured with a clip structure or simple screws. As long as you locate the clips or screws, you can open the charging port cover by releasing them. The difference between fast charging and slow charging: Fast charging and slow charging are relative concepts. Generally, fast charging refers to high-power DC charging, which can charge 80% of the battery capacity in half an hour. Slow charging refers to AC charging, which takes 6 to 8 hours to complete. The charging speed of electric vehicles is closely related to the charger's power, battery charging characteristics, and temperature. Portable charging: Portable charging refers to using the portable charging cable that comes with the vehicle to connect to a standard household socket for charging. This is a very convenient charging method, as you can charge wherever you find a socket. Generally, standard household sockets have a voltage of 220V and a current of 10A, theoretically providing a power of 2.2kW. However, in actual usage, the charging power is typically only around 1.5kW.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make a Clicking Sound When Shaking Left and Right?

Steering wheel shaking left and right with a clicking sound may be due to abnormal noise from the shock absorber's plain bearing. Applying some grease to the plain bearing can help. If the noise persists after greasing, replacement is the only option. Introduction to Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Functions of the Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver during turns. The steering intermediate shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures a more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.

What is the FCW function in cars?

FCW stands for Forward Collision Warning system, which primarily uses radar systems to continuously monitor vehicles ahead, assessing the distance, position, and relative speed between the host vehicle and the vehicle in front. When the system detects a potential collision risk, it illuminates a warning light on the full LCD instrument panel and emits an audible alert to prompt the driver to reduce speed. However, the FCW system itself does not take any braking measures to avoid collisions or control the vehicle. Levels: The vehicle's forward collision warning and anti-collision warning system operates with three levels of alerts. The first and second levels are safe distance warnings, with fixed-time alerts that dynamically adjust based on the host vehicle's speed—the faster the speed, the longer the warning distance. This intelligently reminds users to maintain a safe following distance under different speed conditions. Third Level: The third level is a collision warning with a fixed alert time. It measures relative speed via radar, which can be understood as the speed difference between the target vehicle and the host vehicle. If the host vehicle's speed is greater than the vehicle in front, there is a potential for collision. The greater the speed difference, the longer the warning distance.
