CIRCUIT IDEAS FUEL RESERVE INDICATOR FOR VEHICLES D. MOHAN KUMAR ere is a simple circuit for monitoring the fuel level in vehicles. It gives an audiovisual indication when the fuel level drops alarmingly below the reserve level‚ helping you to avoid running out of petrol on the way. Nowadays vehicles come with a dash-mounted fuel gauge meter that indicates the fuel levels on an analogue display. The ‘reserve’ level is indicated by a red marking in some vehicles‚ but the needle movement through
