I don't like to run any of my vehicles that low on gas for any

Would you care to explain the logic behind that statement?


I don't know if he is correct, but a lot of people would agree with
that. The pump is cooled by the gas in the tank and if it gets low the
pump could run hotter.

I've read much about this topic today, Ed. I've learned a great deal
too. Things have changed a great deal since I was a youngster!

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. :-)
