Don’t
wait until the last minute to fill up your tank on the road! Waiting until the gas needle
gets close to EMPTY or the gas light goes not only puts you at risk of
being stranded on the side of the road, but it can cause potential damage
to your car. Running your car on very little fuel can pull sediment from
the bottom of the fuel tank into the rest of the car's system. This
can clog the fuel pump, fuel injectors or fuel filter. The fuel pump is
electric and the sediment could also cause your car to overheat, costing
you about $500 in repairs, which is definitely not something most of us
want to spend money on, especially during vacation!
To prevent
this from happening, re-fuel before your car is below a quarter tank and
definitely before the gaslight goes on!
