The car can still travel a long distance after the fuel gauge is at neutral, so how far is that distance?
Many people often think that when the fuel needle reaches the E line on the warning meter and the gas station symbol turns yellow, the car will hardly be able to travel a long distance.
The car can still travel a long distance after the fuel gauge is at zero.
However, in reality, there is no standard that regulates the amount of fuel stored in fuel tanks. If the fuel light has reached the E mark, it means that there is only about 10 - 15% of the total capacity of the fuel tank left in the tank... From this number, it is possible to calculate the distance the vehicle can continue to operate with the remaining amount of fuel based on the average fuel consumption of the vehicle.
Engineer Le Van Tach said that normally, cars can continue to travel an additional distance of 40 - 50km depending on the type of car, some cars can travel up to 80km. The reason is that the engine capacity of each car model is not the same, so the additional kilometers that can be traveled when the fuel needle points to E is also different.
In addition, fuel consumption also depends on many other objective factors such as the driver's driving style, weather conditions, road characteristics, terrain, etc., so the distance the vehicle can travel when the fuel gauge is on also depends on the specific circumstances and situations.
However, according to engineer Tach, if you try to drive the car when the fuel needle touches the E mark, it can also damage the car's fuel system.
"Riding a car with no gas will heat up the fuel pump system, and the fuel pump can suck up debris or dirt from the bottom of the fuel tank. This will damage the car's components. Therefore, if you regularly drive your car with no gas, there is a risk of serious damage to the car's engine," Mr. Tach noted.
Therefore, drivers should not wait until the fuel tank is empty before looking for a filling station. This not only causes the engine to stall but also potentially damages the fuel pump system.
The best way to avoid running out of gas is for drivers to look for the nearest fuel station and refuel as soon as the fuel gauge lights up or reaches the red line.
