January 1st, 2009 08:00 AM #1I have the habit of running on low gas, that is, nag-red light na ang gauge ko. I run for as long as around 10 km before my next gas fill. But I never had an occasion na naubusan talaga ako ng gas. Is there any adverse effect on this on the engine?

If the car is old, it will pick up the sediments and grime at the bottom of the tank...
Or if you push your luck and the car stalls...

You might run out of gas like what happened to me in the Jimny (buti na lang in front of Petron Visayas Avenue).
Or your engine will suck in the dirt at the bottom of the fuel tank. Just hope you have a good fuel filter. But even that can get clogged prematurely.

Depends on the vehicle. See the owner's manual. On the Patrol (with a 95l fuel tank), it usually equates to around 10L. On smaller cars, a 5L reserve is the norm but better to countercheck with your manual first.

mga 5-10 liters yan, IMO gagamitin mo rin naman might as well sanayin na sa 1/4, 1/2 or even full tank palagi para iwas latak.

Hindi naman gumagalaw ang "sucking end" ng fuel system, eh. Kahit full tank pa iyan, sa bandang ilalim pa rin naman ng fuel tank sumisipsip ng fuel. So, kahit full or almost empty tank, there is almost no difference in the amount of dirt being sucked in. Unless of course, you always fill it up with dirty fuel which adds a SIGNIFICANT amount of dirt on every fill up.
I say it's okay. Besides, hindi naman sagad sa ilalim ng tank yung hose na panipsip, may allowance pa rin naman iyan para sa sludge build-up.

another thing kapag palaging tuyo ang inner wall ng tangke natin mas prone ito sa moisture build up lalo't malamig panahon. again kung pwedeng palaging may laman why not para iwas impurities.
Puwede i try, 1. Palit air filter 2. Linis throttle body 3. Linis MAF sensor 4. Check spark...
high idle RPM at engine start
