If you have a car or truck you know you have to take care of it. You know that in order for the vehicle to work you have to have things fixed as you go. You also know you need to refill and replace parts as well. The liquids that are needed in the car will go out and need to be replenished on a regular basis. The belts, tires and wires can wear out and need to be replaced on occasion. When it comes to gas in the car there are lots of people that will let the gas get quite low and even let it go so far that the light goes on. This is a warning light there to let you know you don’t have far to go before the car will be out of gas and stop working. You want to make sure you keep an eye on the gas and do not let it get too low. If you are someone that lets the gas get low you want to rethink it. It can be bad for you and your car and it is best to not let it get low in the first place. Speedway Towing & Roadside Assistance outlines why you want to keep your gas tank full.
Does Running Out of Gas Damage Fuel Injectors?
One of the problems you might have when you let the gas go all the way out of the tank is damage. You might think you should be able to use all the gas and just fill it back up. The issue is that the tank can over time end up with debris that is in the bottom of the tank. If you are using every last drip of gas so much so that the car dies these same pieces of debris can become stuck in other areas of the engine and motor. You may have debris on the fuel pump and the injectors that may end up causing damage that will need to be replaced. You want to make sure you keep gas in the car so that these potential pieces are in the tank and not in the other areas.
Stranded when You Run Out of Gas
When you are always pushing your car to the limit the gas tank will keep getting emptied out. The gas should be replenished before it is as the end of the tank. When you let the gas gauge get too low you could end up stranded. Most people think they know their car well enough to take it a few more miles when the tank says its empty. The problem with that is that the car uses gas different depending on if you are using AC or how you are driving. If your tank is left too low you could be stranded on the side of the road. You then have to call for roadside assistance to have them deliver fluids to you. Plus if you allow the gas in your car to get too low you may end up with a kink in your plans. The problem is that you might be low and then an emergency comes up. Instead of being able to get to the emergency right away you are now stuck going to get gas in your tank.
