Running out of Gasoline ( EFI vs Carburetor)

**Dezaremos** · September 3rd, 2015 10:19 PM

Na experience ko naubosan ng gasolina sa corolla 2e carburetor engine ko dati .. pagkatapos ng refill, dapat itulak ang sasakyan para mapaandar ulit ..

Sa mga EFI engines ba kailangan pa rin itulak ?? Kasi pressurized na ang fuel pump ng fuel injected cars, kailangan pa bang itulak or yung pressure ng fuel pump na ang magfeed sa injector ???

Corolla GLi with EFI engine na kasi auto ko ngayon pero nagrerefill na talaga ako on time, iwas sa abala ..

Wow grabe sobrang kuripot mo sa gas... pag carb engine with mechanical pump kailangan mo i-choke yung carb para umakyat agad pero kung naka motorized pump no need na..
Sa efi naka motorized fuel pump yan. Kailangan mo lang mag cycle ng on off kasi pag lagay mo ng susi sa ON aandar lang ng mga 5sec yun pump tapos mag off na yan

Wag mo hayaan na laging near empty ang gas tank masisira agad fuel pump nyan

pati sender masisira..

maski carb diba hindi na kailangan itulak basta start mo lang ng start hanggang sa maka higop na ng gas sa tank.

ok lang mangyari na matuyuan kung once or twice lang dahil talagang walang makitang gas station eh (pero sobrang rare).
pero kung standard practice na ito, its not good. the fuel pump absorbs even the rust inside the gas tank...... magbabara yan. mas malaki ang gastos.

ako, once lang nangyari yan (on an EFI engine), dahil talagang nawala sa isip ko na magpakarga. inabutan ako while going up a parking ramp wherein no choice ako except to push the vehicle to the next plain level, and lumabas ako ng parking slot para lang bumili ng 1 liter of gas, sabay pakarga ulit.... sobrang hassle. nakakahiya pa....

now my threshold is 1/4 tank.... pakarga na ulit....

Ganyan ganyan yung nawitness ko going up Robinsons Ermita parking a few years back. Kala ko bakit trapik. Yun pala may tumirik na sentra malapit sa sa may tuktok. Naubusan daw ng gas yung sasakyan. Tumulong pa yung mga kasamahan kong nagusyoso na itulak yung stalled vehicle.

pag naubusan ang carburatored engine, ay bumababa ang fuel level sa float bowl. if car has an electric fuel pump, than all you do is turn switch to on for a few seconds, parang EFI..
but if the fuel pump is mechanical, it takes a big amount of cranking for the mechanical fuel pump to put enough fuel back into that float bowl. sometimes, the battery dies before this is accomplished. when the battery dies, your problems are then doubled. it is very hard to push-start a carb'd car that ran out of fuel, because there is no fuel in the carb, and because its (often) electromechanical ignition system needs a fair amount of current to work, unlike today's EFI.
what many of us used to do then, back when not all vehicles had a working fuel gauge (owner jeeps!), is to remove the air cleaner and drop some fuel directly into the carb's throat and also into that brass tube at its center.. isang kutsara.. isang tansan.. say a silent prayer and crank 'er up.
some would use their palm over the throat inlet, to achieve a stronger vacuum to pull fuel in, but i find this frightening.

memories..

NEVER let an EFI ran out of gas in the tank for whatever reasons you have!!!

the fuel pump is cooled and lubricated by the gasoline liquid, without it, bye-bye fuel pump...

so pag na-ubusan ng fuel ang tangke, tuloy-tuloy andar ng fuel pump hanggang mag-init siya at tuluyang masira?

Kwento mo kung anong dahilan kung bakit ka naubusan ng gasolina then i will tell you how to go about it.

errr... does it matter? let's say... natuyo ang tangke.. that's a common reason..
or, are we refering to what to do so's it won't happen again?
