How far below E can you go?

ok

 

I drove 60km beyond e when I goofed up and was wrong about the distance between out in the middle of nowhere gas stations.

 

I can go as low as A

 

The thickness of 2 credit cards...to my well calibrated eye.

 

Reminds me of this. When he recites the alphabet haha.

Test it out. Carry a jerrycan with spare fuel. Reset odometer when you hit empty.

 

Theres a chart but I wouldn't recommend starving your fuel pump like that.

This is exactly why I have a skirt ready to he worn, incase I have to hitch hike.

Lots of bad things can happen if you let the tank get that low. Once you're down to the last 2-3 gallons all of the gas will flow to one end of the tank and may not get picked up by the fuel pump if you're going up or down hills.

A couple of years ago I was less than 10 miles from home, less than 5 miles from a fuel stop when traffic was stopped due to a construction accident that had broken a gas line running alongside the road. I was stranded with the engine running to keep the AC on for over 30 minutes before I was able to get turned around.

Instead of a short 10 mile ride home with multiple places to stop for fuel I had to backtrack and take multiple backroads to get home. Over 50 miles with no fuel stops in between. If I'd been pushing my luck with a near empty tank when that happened I'd have run out of gas.

 

I can confirm 16 HWY miles past ZERO.

 

Many times I have been at the gas station with “please refuel” sign that appears after you have “zero miles” left at cluster. Around 10 times in 2 years of ownership. All good here. I trust my fuel gauge.

 

Why find out? you take a chance every time of hurting your fuel pump...let alone frying it.

 

Tried to look, gave up lol.

 

What do I win?

 

Fact is, most pumps have something to ensure fuel stays in the pickup area. Fuel merely sloshing around in the tank isn't going to cause the engine to cut out. Those days are long gone, well before my time. That wasn't the point I was trying to get at. My point is that the fuel canister is great until it runs out of fuel and the ability to pick up more fuel. To me, the whole thing just isn't worth the risk. Obviously I can't tell you what to do with your truck (and you've already shown the table showing how far you like to push it). I'm just throwing out my thoughts on it.
