Letter to Lynne Calder

From now on, I'll only read the forum and refrain from posting any opinions.
Nah, stick with it and keep posting Yang. Great to have a more global perspective on the automotive industry and the Grenadier which is after all a global vehicle (conceived in the UK, engineered in Austria, made in France, German engine, Italian axles & brakes, many Chinese parts). We are a broad church here.

不,堅持下去,繼續發布楊的消息。很高興能對汽車產業和 Grenadier 有更全球化的視角,畢竟 Grenadier 是一款全球性汽車(英國構思、奧地利設計、法國製造、德國引擎、義大利車軸和煞車、許多中國零件)。 我們這裡是一個廣泛的教會。
 
People just need to understand that the first 3/4 of the fuel gauge represents the first 5/6th of the tank, and the last 1/4 of the gauge represents the last 6th in your tank.

Get that math into your head and you’re laughing.

I remember my landcruiser gauge (single tank in the sahara) - it didn’t move below the full indicator for the first 150km, then raced to half way in about 150km and then slowly marched to empty. Funny there was never much banter about that on the LC forums. 🤷‍♂️
Typical result from applying a linear voltage/resistance float device which is ideal for a "regular" shaped tank where fluid height is directly proportional to remaining volume rather than an irregularly shaped tank where change in liquid height vs volume can vary significantly. For example, this is most noticeable on long range tanks on road trains... many have moved from cylindrical tanks on their side to a square/rectangular shape where the liquid height to volume is linear and can be more accurately measured.
The proliferation of shapes of blow molded plastic tanks on domestic vehicles to suit design packaging requirements rather than practical outcomes like accurate fuel gauges has only made the situation worse....
(end of rant :mad:)
