Why do you feel the need to post in bold large font?
If you want to run your tank near empty, so be it. I do know that the pick up line is at the bottom, but that does not automatically mean that any sediments will be sucked right in. Furthermore, the fuel pump is in the tank and is cooled and lubricated by the gas, so by letting your gas levels lower, you take away its lubrication. This can damage it. So, even if you don't believe in the sediment reason, it's still bad to run your tank near empty, unless you don't mind replacing your fuel pump more often than it normally needs to be. |
