Why you shouldn’t let your gas tank run low?
The gasoline acts like a coolant for the electric fuel-pump motor, so when you run very low, this allows the pump to suck in air, which creates heat and can cause the fuel pump to wear prematurely and potentially fail. Keep your gas tank no less than ¼ full.
How much fuel is in the reserve tank?
Usually listed near the size of the gas tank is specifications for reserve fuel. In most vehicles, when the fuel level reaches the reserve fuel level, the gas warning light pops up. There’s no standard for how big the fuel tank reserve is, but most of the time it’s about 10-15 percent of the overall size of the tank.
Why filling it up takes more than tank capacity?
You fill up your “empty” fuel tank at the gas station and the pump charges you for more gallons than the tank’s rated capacity. Similarly, if the lanes that surround the service station pumps are not level, fuel can shift into the vapor space allowing more fuel to be delivered into the tank.

Should I keep my gas tank full in winter?
When it’s cold enough, condensation can also cause fuel lines to freeze, preventing gasoline from reaching your engine. Fortunately, vehicles now have sealed fuel injection systems, which can help prevent this from happening, but it’s always best to be on the safe side and keep your tank at least half full.
