Everyone has had those days. It was a long day at work, traffic is terrible, you are tired, and all you want to do is get back home and relax. But would you look at that? Your gas light is activated, indicating you need to stop and fill up. The absolute last thing you want to do now is add another 15 minutes to your commute with a stop at the gas station, so you decide to skip it and fill up in the morning. But is this a good idea?
Your Car Could Run Out Of Gas
This is a sobering reality, but if you drive on E for long enough, eventually, you will run out of gas. And what then? You’d better hope your phone is charged because you will either be waiting for a tow truck or walking to the nearest gas station. It is super simple to avoid this embarrassing situation – simply fill up when your car hits a quarter of a tank.
Your Car Is Designed To Have Fuel In It
Your car’s fuel pump – the part that sends fuel from the tank to the engine – is designed to be submerged in gasoline. When you drive on E and it isn’t, you run the risk of this vital component misfiring. Over time, it can fail completely, and that is one expensive repair. Protect your fuel line by simply keeping your car full of gas – no matter how bad you don’t feel like stopping.
