Have you ever seen your mom or dad put gas in the car? When we go on a trip, we need to make sure we have enough gas to get to where we are going. Cars have something called a fuel tank where the gas is stored.
But how do we know how much gas we have in the fuel tank? That's where a fuel-management system comes in!
A fuel-management system is like a little computer in the car that helps keep track of how much gas is in the tank. The computer takes information from sensors that measure how much gas is being used by the car and how much is left in the tank.
The fuel-management system also helps the car use gas more efficiently. It tells the engine how much gas it needs to use so that the car doesn't waste any gas. This helps the car get better gas mileage, which means we don't have to stop for gas as often.
Sometimes the fuel-management system also tells us if there is something wrong with the car. For example, if a sensor isn't working properly, the computer will give us a warning light on the dashboard to let us know that we need to get the car checked out.
So, a fuel-management system is like a little helper that makes sure our cars have enough gas and use it wisely.
