Low fuel indicator
When does it light up? I heard it's when reaching 1/8 of gas tank capacity. Can anyone confirm this? 93.172.46.55 (talk) 05:13, 27 June 2010 (UTC)


 * On current car it does indeed light up at 1/8 of a tank, but others I've owned have differed. Mr Larrington (talk) 13:06, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

a gas hatch indicator arrow
The fuel icons in modern cars do inform drivers which side to refuel on, but it's not the placement or shape of the fuel icon that carries that information: Nearly all newer models of automobiles include a small arrow or triangle next to the fuel icon that indicates which side of the vehicle bears the fuel door.

Fuel Gauge sensitivity ?
Not explained in the article is how a fuel gauge is able to get an accurate level for the fuel of a driving vehicle. Driving through the mountains going up and down grades of 5% - 8% the fuel gauge level doesn't seem to change. Do full guauges in autombiles, air craft, and water craft use an averaging system or multiple gauges to determine the fuel level? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiwhit01 (talk • contribs) 20:20, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

The gauge is mounted near the center of the tank, so tilting the tank in either direction has little effect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B012:8792:93C:762B:87A2:6A80 (talk) 12:38, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Battery fuel gauge
For batteries there are devices which call industry "fuel gauge". See https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/power/battery-management/MAX17055.html/tb_tab0. Should such a thing not be mentioned here too? Asks Harald wehner (talk) 11:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
