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.
