Does running out of fuel damage your car?

What a big bag of gay, SRS!!

We don't live in a time where fuel is mocket, petrol stations have plastic lined tanks as do most modern cars, also with fuel being a lot cleaner, unleaded with additives theres no problem with just switching the brand you're using.

Is this a serious thread?

Woo.

Almost as serious as running a diesel on petrol.

Now that would do damage, but there is no need to mix diesel and petrol now days.

Both are clean, so this "silt" at the bottom, its pure gash,

It's still a bit of a shock that someone suggested the pump picking up crap from the bottom of the tank.

I'm wondering how you get fuel from the top of a half empty tank, defy gravity maybe?

Lolwot?

I have got 15500 miles of fuel consumption records for a 197, and all that driving has shown that V Power or ANY higher octane fuel gives me about 1 MPG difference over 95.

I am still thinking of just using normal 95 now tbh

PMSL.

ISP: Intense Sucking Power. You see... there's this 'straw'-like thing...

 

[Gally]

Flol go on, i'm intrigued.

Would it not be sucking mid-air if not submerged in the fuel?

 

[Ads_172]

Well that's where the "Intense" comes in. It sucks so hard that the fuel 'hops' up into the straw. With the silt, you understand.

 

[Paddy_g46]

lol at the idea of draining the tank completely!

i always run my tank to the least amount left anyway. like 5 miles left and never had any issues.
