Did your grandpa always tell you to never let the fuel tank go below 1/4 full? Well, maybe he was right. These days, most cars have the fuel pump in the fuel tank. Some of us theorize the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel, thus building excess heat when the fuel level is low. This, in turn, could cause the fuel pump to fail sooner than normal.
