Or you can just plan your refuels to occur at 1/4 tank like I do. :wink:

You shouldn't run your tanks so low anyway.

 

yeah-good way to pick up alot of Junk if your Pick ups are good.

 

i drive LOCAL so i try to only fill up 1 time per week! And if im wasting money at the end of every week on unecessary fuel id like to know it

 

i didnt know if this quote was for me? other wise i didnt quite understand what you meant

 

It was a response to the Rev. on running your Fuel down to the bottom of your Tanks.
If you do that you're eventually gonna have a mess on your hands.

 

Whoe there Marcel, leave that gage sender alone! The way I read your post, you had about 40gl or so left in the tank when the gage read empty. Unless you like running out of fuel, I'd leave it alone. Go by the gage the way it is, and you'll be in good shape. (that's your reserve)

As far as letting the fuel get that low and picking up trash from the bottom of the tank, will not happen. This is because the p/u line for the tank takes fuel from the bottom all the time, most tanks have a "sump" in the bottom so you can get every last drop!

 

Dirt and water will always end up at the end of the tank.

 

On my truck the fuel Gage reads a little lower than what i have in it. Usually when i get a little under a 1/4 of tank i put fuel on. I used to let the tanks draw way down until i got a lot of crap into the fuel filter, and had to replace along side the road. What a head ache learned a real quick lesson on that one

 

Yeah-OK

 

so are you saying that i actually did have about 40 gallons left..but thats a reserve or something?? doesnt dirt ALWAYS end up at bottom of tank?????
