When driving, you suddenly found kerosene in your car. Have you ever encountered this situation? I have really encountered such a situation, and the accelerator could not be turned on. It was in the city at that time. If the car was really lying on the road because there was no gas, it would be really embarrassing. Fortunately, there was a gas station nearby for a long time.
How far can I run when the fuel gauge shows “0”?
In fact, even when the fuel gauge shows “0”, the car can still travel a certain distance. For the specific distance, please see the picture below.
The fuel tank of a car is an important part of the fuel supply system in the engine assembly, which is used to store the fuel required for the car to run, and the fuel usually refers to gasoline and diesel. Looking at the composition of the fuel tank, the fuel tank is made of steel plate or plastic. The number, capacity, shape and installation position of the fuel tank produced by each factory vary with the model. In other words, the shape of the fuel tank is not completely regular, and the position of the suction pipe is also not at the bottom of the fuel tank.
Therefore, we should check the user manual of the car model to understand the volume of the car’s fuel tank and implement it to the specific value; then, conduct a test to see how many liters of fuel have been added when the fuel gauge shows “0”. ; Finally, subtract the refueling amount from the fuel tank volume we have already learned, and the result is the real remaining fuel amount in the fuel tank when the fuel gauge shows “0”. Don’t worry, this result must be a positive number.
After getting the result, using the method of the first question, with the remaining fuel amount and the fuel consumption of the car, you can calculate how far you can run when the fuel gauge shows “0”. After reading the two questions, I hope that while helping riders, I can remind everyone to remember to plan the itinerary and fuel quantity before traveling to ensure sufficient fuel. In addition, if you really drive until the fuel warning light comes on, you should try to reduce sudden acceleration, sudden braking, turn off the air conditioner, etc., and adopt a series of energy-saving driving habits to drive.
Tip: How far you can run is also related to the owner’s driving habits, technology, vehicle, fuel-saving skills, road conditions, weather and many other factors. Therefore, the calculated value is for reference only. Even if the same car is driven by different people, the value will be different.
