How much fuel in the tank at a burning bulb
How can you pass if warning light is on fuel?
Of course, drivers often do not allow themselves to be in the car lit up light gasoline, which warns of low fuel level in the tank. This warning suggests that it is time to refuel the car. But whether we immediately as possible to go to the gas station and fill the car? How many of us there is still time, before the car run out of gasoline or diesel fuel? Here’s a detailed table on many models of cars, which keeps information about how much fuel remains in the tank after the dashboard has a warning on low level of gasoline or diesel fuel.
The table published below, represents exemplary values for a particular model car. Please note that these are for cars manufactured up to 2015. Also keep in mind that some of the values in the table may differ slightly from the actual figures.
But on average, obtain the following values: passenger cars after light turns on the fuel level in the tank can still travel about 50 kilometers, while SUVs and crossovers that have, as a rule, the increased volume of fuel tanks can drive on the burning light fuel, approximately 150 kilometers.
Does this mean that car owners can, if a warning appears on the instrument panel low fuel level, don’t rush to the gas station? Of course not. Especially if you are in an unfamiliar area and don’t have an idea about how the distance will be the next filling station.
That is, despite the fact that in any car’s fuel tank has a reserve fuel, after the appearance of a burning lamp, signaling of a low level of fuel in the tank, you should fill your car and next time to prevent this warning appeared again. Keep always the level of fuel in the tank before the advent of the light bulb burning fuel on the dashboard.
Is it dangerous to drive with low fuel in the tank?
Many do not know, but apart from the risk to remain without fuel, in the case of ignoring warnings about low fuel, there are a number of problems which can be faced by any motorist who travels frequently on an empty tank.
For example, the frequent trips on an empty tank can prematurely withdraw the catalyst in the exhaust system, which will have to repair or buy a new one that is due to the huge waste of money.
Including frequent trips with a low level of fuel in the tank may damage the fuel pump. The fact that the fuel that we fill at the gas station, not really clean (especially in Russia) and it contained various fractions of the contaminants that settle on the bottom of the tank. When the fuel level is low, we run the risk that this sediment can get into the fuel system via the fuel pump. Especially when the fuel is fully depleted. It was at this point the fuel pump can get the particles sediment out of the tank. Under normal fuel level, a similar risk of contamination of the fuel system is minimal.
So if you don’t want to ruin your car regularly and on time refuel your car without bringing the fuel level to low, which lead to the appearance of a burning lamp on the dashboard.
Accurate if the range on the onboard computer of the car?
Many car owners often rely on the testimony of the onboard computer of the vehicle, which shows you the possible range. Therefore, some drivers and brought the car to low fuel level, relying on indicator on-Board computer, considering that the reserve is true.
Also many drivers when prompted with the warning about the fuel level is low, look at the testimony of the onboard computer to see how much more the car can drive on the fuel left in the tank (reserve).
But, unfortunately, the reserve is not accurate as it is based only on averages of your movement on the road in the past.
The fact that the car’s electronics will not be able to show you the true power reserve, as it is impossible in real time to take into account your current traffic conditions, affecting the consumption of gasoline or diesel fuel.
For example, if you to the appearance on the instrument panel lamps, warning you of a low fuel level in the tank car, drove down the highway, and now stood in the tube, the power reserve displayed on the onboard computer, is actually incorrect, since this figure is calculated when driving on the highway, where fuel consumption is actually much less than in conditions of heavy traffic in the city.
So do not expect that when the low warning fuel level, you will be able to travel a lot.
So how much fuel remains in the tank since the appearance on the instrument panel light bulb burning fuel and how many miles you can still drive to the total consumption of fuel?
If the first question to answer can be quite simple, what kind of distance you can drive on an empty tank, after the dashboard of the car lit up lamp fuel, to say very hard because it depends on actual fuel consumption of your car at some point in time.
And consumption depends on many factors, from your driving style and weather conditions, as well as ending from installed on the machine the rubber and the road surface.
We have already published an article that detailed disclosure on reserve on an empty tank. Here are the details.
This article complements the last, and expanding useful information for motorists.
Here’s a detailed table of car models, which in detail shows you how much fuel remains in your car after the dashboard appears a burning light is warning the driver the fuel level is low. Also from the table you will learn what the average distance you can drive after the warning about empty tank.
