Why you should refrain from driving your car on empty

Why you cannot drive your car on empty

Driving your car on an empty tank may seem harmless, but it is a habit worth breaking. Here's a friendly reminder of why driving on an empty tank is not the best route to take.

Protect Your Engine:

Running your car on empty can lead to sediment buildup in your fuel system. Over time, this can damage your engine and result in costly repairs.

Avoid getting stuck:

An empty tank increases the risk of stalling. Save yourself the hassle and potential danger by keeping your tank stocked with fuel.

Extend the Lifespan of Your Fuel Pump:

Your fuel pump relies on the gasoline in your tank for cooling and lubrication. Driving on empty can cause the fuel pump to overheat, potentially shortening its lifespan.

 

So, next time you consider pushing the gas gauge to its limits, remember that a little fuel goes a long way in safeguarding your vehicle's health and your peace of mind. Schedule your appointment and get your car ready for the road
