How far below E can you go?

Crazy how ingrained ideas become. But that one fuel pump thread was pretty illuminating. I can't remember the name of it though

 

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.

Yup. Peeps clutching their pearls about old wives tales.

It was in one of the recall threads.

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?
