Many vehicle owners tend to let their gas run low before filling up, but some allow their vehicles to nearly run out and only put a few gallons into the tank when they do put fuel in. This method of operating your vehicle is extremely hazardous to the health of your vehicle.
Fuel acts as a coolant for the fuel pump, and when the tank is close to empty, air can be drawn into the fuel system. Also, the empty space inside of the fuel tank is not empty at all. It actually contains water vapors that can do some serious damage to your vehicle. These water vapors will gather together on the inner walls of your fuel tank and start to cause rust issues as it settles down to the bottom of the tank. You also run the risk of that condensation diluting the fuel and freezing in the winter season, possibly destroying the entire fuel system.
Make sure your vehicle gets the quality service it deserves with routine maintenance and visits to the gas pump. Bring it in to Honda of Stevens Creek today.
