Every motorist knows that the “bulb” on the dashboard with the image filling machine - this is a direct indication that very soon the car will stop its motion. Alas, until cars have learned to drive without fuel. However, one unanswered question remains: how long can you continue driving after the appearance of an alarm signal?
First of all, it is worth noting that regular driving on a “light bulb” has an extremely negative effect on the fuel system of the car and the internal combustion engine. If you abuse this practice, then you may encounter at least an early clogging of the fuel filter. Driving with a low fuel level also threatens that an insufficiently rich fuel mixture will enter the engine. As a result: the catalytic converter suffers, the risk of detonation increases, and at high speeds the engine may stop working at all. That is why it is extremely important not to bring the car to the "bulb" and refuel regularly.
So how much fuel is left in the tank after the warning light comes on? In fact, there is no general answer to this question. Different cars have different fuel tanks and powertrains. However, there are still some general provisions in this matter. Firstly, there is not a single car that would have less than 5 liters left in the tank at the time the refueling indicator lights up. Typically, the "critical" amount of fuel in civilian consumer cars ranges between 5 and 10 liters and depends on the standard gluttony of the internal combustion engine.
Thus, on the "honey" the vast majority of vehicles can drive another 80-100 km along a country road. There are exceptions, for example, many Lada models are able to stretch all 110-120 km on a light bulb. At the same time, it is important to understand that the technical condition of the car, as well as the number of simultaneously operating systems, will put pressure on the calculated mileage figure. For example, a radio, bright lights or air conditioning can seriously reduce the claimed mileage with a critical fuel level. For this reason, when making long trips, it is useful to have a container of fuel in stock.
