Na-ubusan ako ng gas...any bad effects?

Mga Bossing,

My Innova vvti/at is around 10 months old pa...I made a blunder of drying up its gas (naubusan ako literally ng gas) in one of my recent trips, what horrors, if any, should I expect....Ang careless ko talaga...TIA....

It is possible the in-tank filter would have sucked up the gunk from the bottom of the fuel tank.

Alam ko basta may isang part ng engine na masama kapag nasagad at naubusan ng gas diba. Hindi ko matandaan yung tawag sa part na iyon. Kailangan hindi ito masaid talaga.

*attyallanlatras - charge in experience mo na ito. bakit ba naman kasi hinihintay pang masaid nang husto ang gas at hintayin na umilaw ang fuel indicator?

Hindi ba masama rin guys na maiwan na walang laman ang fuel tank dahil baka nagkakadumi ang paligid nito dahil wala nang gas. Correct me if I'm wrong nalang tsikoteers not sure din kasi dahil hindi ako nagpapasa-id ng gas.

Ako kasi, basta kalahati nalang ang gas, pakarga na kaagad.

Parang exag naman kung every half tank ka nagpapakarga

Pero kanya-kanya naman yan

Ako basta 1/4 na, time to refuel

Ako I fill up my gas when it's halfway through empty. Pag tinatamad pumunta ng gas station, mga 1/4.

**aejhayl17** · September 13th, 2009 10:48 PM

ako every monday... hehe kahit said na or hindi pa...weekly routine na eh...

pag wala ng gas, di ko na gagamitin auto ko till its monday na ulit. maliban na lang kung may lakad or umuulan like this days...

but hanggang maari, hindi aabot ng fuel low warning...sama daw kase yun...

Mahirap din palagi na konti laman ng fuel tank kasi nag build up ng kalawang . At pag naubusan naman masisipsip iyong mga latak at dumi kasi ito naiiwan sa ibaba ng tangke.

Same here. I had one experience where I thought I'd run out of gas and there was no gas station in sight. I made a promise to God that I will NEVER wait for the warning light before I gas up.

I was also told that it's bad for the car to run out of gas.

Run out of gas it's hard on the fuel pump mostly and it also is a great way to get all the debris and scuz floating around in the bottom of the tank into the main fuel system to start plugging the fuel filter and injectors. Fuel pumps are cooled by the surrounding fuel and when you're below 1/4 tank it significantly increases wear on the pump.
Most low fuel lights will come on when the vehicle has approximately a 50 mile range before running out of gas. So it's in your best interests to fill your tank when you hit 1/4 .
