Why Does My Car's Fuel Gauge Show False Readings on Hills?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user experiencing false fuel gauge readings while driving on hills. They seek a solution using a gyro and known resistance from their car's fuel tank to obtain accurate readings. Suggestions include researching various fluid level measurement methods, with a specific mention of a reliable sight gauge used in boating. The conversation emphasizes the importance of exploring different measurement techniques to address the issue effectively. Accurate fuel gauge readings are crucial for safe driving, especially in hilly terrains.

hello

How about this? http://www.sensorsmag.com/sensors/leak-level/a-dozen-ways-measure-fluid-level-and-how-they-work-1067

You should do your own research before posting questions here.

Edit: In addition to the dozen methods above, l should mention the most reliable of all methods. I use it on my boat -- the sight gauge.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
