What happens when your car runs out of gas? It may sputter, have power surges, and could even backfire. After that, the engine will shut off and you will lose power to your brakes and steering. If that happens be aware you can still control it but will have to use a lot more muscle power than you are used to. The other reason why you do not want to run out of gas in the bottom of your gas tank. The tank has all the contaminants from all the previous years of driving. The fuel filter does filter most of this out. But the little bitty pieces can get through and lodge into your fuel pump or fuel injectors. Also keeping gas in the tank keeps your fuel pump cooler and longer-lasting. So make sure you fill-up. #ryansservicenter
