Running on Empty

[Big Knight]

The other day I put 13.26 gallons of gas in my 13 gallon tank! I know you get a bit more due to the filler neck, but still I was pretty damn low!

What is most anyone else has put in thier RL? (In a single fillup)

[davytudope]

holy crap, the most i ever put in is about 11.5 gal

[Freakazoid]

WOW that makes me feel better, I always get worried even when i'm only putting like 11.5 gallons in, apparently there's a LOT more to spare


(and if I end up getting stuck ont he side of the road i'm going to kill you :P)

Running way low will be trouble for your fuel pump over time...

9-10 gallons on a fill for me.

Thats what I have always heard to. The gas that is in the tank is supposed to "cool" the fuel pump, and if you let it get low, it sucks up "gook" that has settled at the bottom of the tank over time. Atleast thats what I have heard.

If you regularly run it all the way to the bottom, it'll be fine, you won't have the gunk in the bottom because most of it will go with each tank you empty.

It you never run it that low, and then by chance you do once in a blue moon, you are asking for problems.

I've put in 13 gallons.
