Do you chronically drive your car when the fuel gauge says that you have little to no gas? If you answered yes, you need to break that habit immediately. Bro. Listen. Look at me. This is a problem and I’m here to help you overcome it, just like that time that you helped me when my mom accidentally washed my snapback in the washing machine. Okay? First, let me tell you the bad things that come from driving with an empty tank. I can’t believe I have to say this to you. You know better, bro. You do.

So first you can wear out your fuel pump. If you don’t have enough gas then the pump starts pumping air. This is because gas acts as a coolant for the fuel pump motor. The air makes heat and then the pump wears out and breaks and then I have to loan you like a hundred bucks. Not cool, man.

Secondly is that the gauge is not accurate. Like, it’s close? But the thing is that it’s more of an approximation than anything. So like, don’t trust it all the way. My dad said not to let your tank ever get below three-quarters empty. I feel like that’s a solid plan, right? Just start doing that. I got you!

 

The last thing is that there’s all kinds of gunk and stuff in the bottom of everyone’s gas tank. Even yours, bro! But when you’re mad low on gas then all that sediment gets stirred up and then goes through all your pipes and hoses and such and will make you need to get a flush. Like, a full engine flush. And because I’ve hypothetically already loaned you a hundo, you’ll have to ask your dad for money. Again. Don’t stoop that low, bro! I got your back. Bros for life.
