Where is the plug for the car's fuel level sensor
Tank bottom
Automotive fuel level sensor plugs are usually located at the bottom of the fuel tank.
The working principle of the oil level sensor is mainly to measure the amount of oil through the sliding rheostat. The float in the sensor moves as the amount of oil changes, thus changing the resistance value. At a fixed voltage, a change in the resistance value causes a change in the current, which is converted into a reading on the fuel gauge that shows the amount of oil in the tank. This design takes into account the irregularity of the tank and ensures the accuracy of the measurement.
The importance of the oil level sensor is that it can monitor the amount of oil in the tank in real time, ensuring that the vehicle will not have problems due to insufficient oil during driving. By displaying the fuel level in time, the driver can be prepared for refueling in advance to avoid the situation of vehicle breakdown caused by the depletion of fuel.
How to replace the car oil level sensor

Install the new sensor : Place the new sensor into the fuel tank and securely secure the harness end using wire.
Reinstall the oil pump and semi-assembly : Reinstall the main oil pump, taking care that the wiring does not interfere with the normal rise and fall of the black plastic float.
Precautions during replacement
Complete fuel tank : Before disassembly, ensure that fuel in the fuel tank has been completely drained to prevent oil leakage.
Use the right tools : Use the right tools for disassembly and installation to avoid damaging parts.
Pay attention to line connection : when reinstalling the main oil pump, take care that the line does not interfere with the normal rise and fall of the black plastic float.
Cleaning work : During disassembly and installation, keep the working area clean to prevent impurities from entering the fuel system.
Professional help : If you encounter difficulties, it is recommended to seek the help of professional technicians.
