Im just asking, relax.

In getting the gas flowing easier and quicker in -30 or is it primarily only for preventing water condensation in the tank?

I notice when im driving on the icey slippery roads where its slippery and no salt or traction. I slowly hit my brakes like normal and brakes will lock up it seems and if I press harder, it still locks up and you hear a sound from the front brakes just like when your ABS brakes kick in on a hard...

Originally Posted By: Voltmaster Like others said, low tank = more strain on pump because it cools and lubricates it. So your pump could run out , Why would u run it so low every single time? There is no need for it! I dont run it on low but every one i know does. They run it till it says...

Originally Posted By: 46Harry It's a good idea to never let the tank get below 1/4 on fuel injected engines. The fuel pump is submerged in gasoline which cools the pump. When the fuel tank runs low, the pump is only partially submerged which causes the pump to run hotter and keep in mind that...

Originally Posted By: strongt I don't think the car or pump have to work harder because the fuel pick is at the bottom of the pump which is the bottom of the tank. But IMO I think the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel it sits in. I would think a cooler running pump would translate into a long...

Originally Posted By: Zaedock The fuel pump is cooled by the gas, which could potentially make it last longer. The gas cools the fuel pump? I did hear about that but didnt know if it was 100% true or not. So is it true that fuel pumps have to work harder when theres less gas in the tank?

Is this a myth or actually true? Ive always been told that if you run your gas tank to the low mark, or say red (or just above it) each time that it puts extra strain on your fuel pump and will shorten the life of it? I forgot who it was but someone said that the less fuel in your tank, the...

if youre not going to contriubute then beat it

double checked the connection at the on/off switch connector (inside the car) and its fine but notice when I took the button off one of the lights if out. Not sure if normal. Not sure how to go about fixing this. Really hoping its a simply fix and dont have to replace the whole set. I do get an...
