Car repair Question...Help!?

Generally, it's best to keep a fair amount of fuel in the tank. Most newer cars have the fuel pump in the tank, and the fuel actually serves to keep the fuel pump cooler, which makes it last much longer.

Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry or Corolla, or Honda Civic?


I generally deliberately run my car very low on fuel a couple of times a year, once in the late fall, and again when the weather gets warm. This tends to help remove any accumulated water and gunk from the tank. Otherwise, I usually refill my car when the fuel warning light comes on. At that point, I still have around 3 gallons (of 14) left.

At the present time, you better fill up as soon as you can affoird it, because of the rising gas prices. However, in general. I NEVER let my tank go below 3/4 full. Most people fill up at 1/4 full.

For real life purposes, you shouldn't be cruising on fumes.

Where can I find a front windshield and a manual transition for a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback?

having a full or empty doesn't really stir up dirt in the tank any more than driving on a rough road. there is a strainer on the pump to filter out some crap that is in the tank. from there it goes to the gas filter for final filtering. always keep as much gas as possible. a pump run too low often or always near empty will fail and some models of cars we are talking 500$ alone for a modular pump plus labor
