Fuel empty Light

[Viz88]

I was wondering

 

When will the fuel empty warning light comes on ?

 

I run till the needle at the "E"

but still no warning light

 

Problem with the fuel empty warning light ???

i dun think its faulty fuel gauge.

i think its bcoz of the structure of Aveo's fuel tank.

the base is wider....so at empty, still can go quite a distance.

i normally pump when milege between 350-400km.

there is once i top up 40 L tot left 7L in tank will light up but nope. but now reach E i top up liao had nv seen the empty tank light lights up

[Viz88]

Wah !

 

Like that how we know when empty.

 

Sound kinda dangerous if trying to drive to 'E'

i've tried driving a car with light on and needle below indicator

 

very close to pushing the car liao....

At E still can drive it only lights up when you are on reserve should be good for another 50 - 60 km till dry. Better dont push it too empty cause of the sediments at the bottom might clogg up the fuel lines.

I have notice on my Optra that if, the needle hit exactly at the red line,

The light will come on intermitten, fading gradually in and out. If you push

it further, the light will come on more frequently and the light more intense.

Until quite the max, the light stays on....

Then I dun know what happen already... I go pump the tank up to 54++ litres.

bro, i think that is normal that the light fading in & out when it 1st hit the E, as the chevy fuel guage like many other use floating type. so the indicator is not very accurate as the car move, fuel = fluid.

 

after hit E drive a while, then the light will stay on indicate the fuel is really low. time to pump up!

Not so good for the engine if wait till "E" and pump... the petrol is a form of "lubricant" for the fuel tank as well.

I also heard that if use till near empty will spoilt the fuel pump.

 

So I should refill when the needle hit the 1/4 mark.

[Arah]

Me more kiasu 3/4 only go pump already .

[Julian]

that is the actual way.

i though that will add to the weight yr car need to carry, cause down in FC. some of my friend always keep thier tank 1/2 full only.

[Arah]

You got a point also there but it will be minimal as i have benn maiantaining this stlye for quite a few months and my FC still maintain even when i put on weight kekekek .

[Sgrac3r]

maybe is just your good driving habit produce good FC

[Arah]

Usually drive with family in tow 2kids 3mth & 3yrs plus the INHOUSE TP .So very dangerous to chionglah.

[Zacer]

actually half tank n full tank most only 20+k different dun really make a difference lar just lonbang 1 ger already at least 50kg more!!

[Skoder]

Roger that...Will keep that in mind.

Yesterday just pumped my tank moment it lights up.

Pump to max, total 49.67litre. This perhaps shows

that it is on 10L reserves... FYI, am on Shell 92..
