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!
