Fuel level

How much fuel is left in the tank — the number the gauge needle is drawn from. The sender is a float, and in an oddly shaped tank it lies more at the quarters than in the middle.

What is normal

No change after refuelling means a stuck float. ⚠️ While the code is present some self-tests never finish and an emissions test can fail: the evaporative system is only checked at certain tank levels.

These figures hold for most cars, but the maker has the last word: some engines run hotter or idle higher by design.

Codes behind this reading

If the value is out of range, the unit usually says so with one of these codes.

How to see it

In CarScan: the Live data tab, «Start polling». The app asks the car several times per second, draws a graph and remembers the highest and lowest value of the trip.
