The fuel gauge hits the red line - how many more kilometers can the car go?
When the fuel needle hits the red line, how many more kilometers can the car go? That is the question that many people wonder.
If your car's gas tank is running low and you're on the road and can't find a gas station, it's a tricky situation. What you want to know most is how many more kilometers will the car go when the fuel gauge hits the red line? The design of the car's gas tank ensures that when the gauge hits the red line, it will still operate for a while. However, if this happens repeatedly, the car's components will be damaged.

After the fuel needle reaches the red line, you can still go a certain distance. Generally, when in this situation, the car can still run about 40 - 50km more. However, that number is in open, open road conditions. In urban, crowded road conditions, when the fuel needle reaches the red line, it will only run another 20 - 30km. Thus, in all road conditions, the car can still run another 20km without any problems.
However, it is very dangerous to keep driving when the fuel gauge is at the red line. In case you run out of fuel and are driving in mountainous areas, you must replenish fuel as quickly as possible.
If you don’t want your car to break down quickly, it’s best to add fuel before the fuel gauge reaches the red line. At low fuel levels, the fuel pump can suck up debris or dirt from the bottom of the tank. This can damage your car’s components. You can go 1 or 2 times when the fuel gauge reaches the red line and that’s fine. But if you do it too many times, you’ll soon see the consequences.

So what should you do when your car is running out of fuel and you can't find a gas station? The 4 principles below are the answer.
1. Pay attention to road conditions and drive at the most even speed possible.
2. Turn off all electrical appliances and the car's air conditioning. Electrical appliances will increase the burden on the engine. If there is not enough gas, turning off the air conditioning will save more.
3. Try to avoid traffic jams and stop frequently as this will increase fuel consumption.
4. Reduce the weight of the car. You should remove anything heavy and unnecessary from the car when it is low on gas.
