RE: Running out of fuel and still driving? Not a good idea. 车就快没油了还不去添？不是一个好主意
I was told by mechanic to every few tank use it to near empty. The reasoning I was told was the dirt and other impurities would settle at the bottom and if that bottom is not disturbed for a long time all the dirt accumulation would clog the filter when the driver actually run near empty. Now that is many years ago and I have no idea if it is still true with current tank / pump design.
Your mechanic is betting on you killing your fuel pump so he can get more business from you.
Lolll @dxn, that's a very expensive fix somemore.
May be guy was trained before the change to pump in tank design. Guy retired a while back. I will take your advise and refill early. Thanks.
By the way is that fuel pump common damage item?
