Not ‘Empty’, this is the real meaning of the letter E on the fuel panel of cars and motorcycles

Jakarta

The fuel tank indicator panel on motorcycles and cars always has the letters E and F. If the ‘F’ indicates the tank is in full condition, then the letter ‘E’ does not mean the tank is empty or empty. Then what does the letter E on the BBM panel mean?

The fuel tank content indicator panel is a feature that seems simple but very important for motorcyclists and cars. With this feature we don’t need to check and peek at the fuel tank to see the availability of gasoline in the vehicle.

As technology advances, the fuel indicator panel is no longer just a needle that moves between F and E. Now many vehicles use a digital indicator panel, where the letters F and E are still printed on it, in opposite positions.

But do you know that the letter E on the panel does not mean empty or empty.

The letter F on the indicator panel indicates Full, aka full fuel. However, the letter E on the fuel tank content indicator panel actually means Emergercy, or an emergency.

If the indicator needle is already pointing at the letter E, then the situation is very precarious to immediately fill the fuel. Don’t delay, stop immediately and refuel as soon as you see a gas station. Thus quoted from Totalenergies.

Even so, when the indicator points to the letter E, the actual contents of the fuel tank are not completely exhausted. On average, 10% of the total maximum fuel capacity is still available when the E indicator starts flashing.

This is done by the manufacturer so that the driver does not really run out of gas in the middle of the road, especially when traveling long distances.

So, instead of having to push the vehicle because it runs out of gas, you should fill your car or motorcycle with fuel before the indicator approaches the letter E.
