Run out of gas--ano epekto sa makina?

[wewoy_romero]

better to run the car than let it idle for long. ikot mo lang sandali sa kalye nyo. kahit 1 block lang ok na.

as for the fuel, mahihigop yung mga dumi at latak sa ilalim ng tank.

good tires = your safety. may mga murang tires na good quality. just search the threads. don't compromise.

BAkit pag umiinum kayo ng ice tea sa straw nag titira kayo ng kaunti sa ilalim?

if your fuel pump is the type of pump that is located inside the fuel tank....it is very damaging to the fuel pump to run in very low fuel cause the gas is what keeps the fuel pump cool.running the gas tank nearly empty or completely empt means that the fuel pump isnt fully getting soaked by gas and will be running hotter than normal.it will be prone to overheating and soon break.
thats when your nightmare will really start since theyll have to drop the gas tank first before they can even get to the fuel pump first.tons of labor and labor cost if you dont turn wrench.

nasabi na nilang lahat about the main risk - dirt from the fuel lines (especially for an old car) causing problems in the engine.

also, running out of gas is the biggest hassle in the world. you don't save any money by waiting for the very last drop to run out before refueling....so what's the point? :confused:

sa kakatipid mo sa gas, lalo ka mapapamahal pag may masira.

kahit san anggulo mo tingnan, mali yang ginagawa mo....hanggat ginagamit mo ang sasakyan, kakargahan at kakargahan mo pa rin ng gasolina yang kotse mo.

dude i don't think its a good idea to idle that long.

my experience is that if your engine is newly rebuilt or overhauled, you'll have to run it on idle for some time for the new rings and cylinder liners to seat properly.

but if you have an old engine, idling for too long not only wastes gas, it wears out the engine a lot more. the fact that you're wearing out your engine while the vehicle is stationary and you're not getting anywhere is in itself a waste of your time and engine. the prolonged idling could also cause gasoline to enter your oil, diluting it to the point where its 10% gasoline. gasoline in oil = bad news.

save your time, money and vehicle. don't idle every day. just leave it alone. basta maganda yung langis mo hindi naman mag stuck-up yan. every month, ride your car to jollibee na lang para magamit kahit papaano. thats better than idling.

Thanks sa mga reply. Now I understand!

reym..nice answer..is it the same for no carb engine?

*winferrer :

The principle is the same, except you would damage a more sophisticated fuel system.

Mas madali pang papaandar ang carburated na nabarhan, buksan mo lang carb, linis filter, sundot mga jets, sundot idling jet takbo na. sa EFI pag nasira ang pump which also serves as your carb, cgurado gastos.

You can damage your fuel injection system because of the "latak" sa gasolina and the catalytic converter can be also affected according to some mechanics and magkaka hangin and fuel line mo at fuel pump rin bka masira pero there is no permanent damage on the engine just do not do it often ang dangerous is that if you are an automatic and you ran out in the middle of the road while your gearbox is engage in drive then you might have a problem and it is cheaper to fill up above 1/4 because less evaporation best to fll up in the morning and tell the gas boy to use trigger 1 less air due to slower pump

in my experience of a rarely used car nasisira yung gas sensor kasi ang gas pag natuyo nagiiwan ng mantsa masama kung electronic pa yung sensor mo also yung mantsa sa side walls ng fuel tank becomes abit of dusty yun ang nakakabara sa fuel filter

running idle is good to warm up the engine but remember you got rubber parts in your underchassis like balljoint bushing, shock absorber damper etc.. if it doesnt move it will become brittle and those elastic rubber will crack.. mapapagastos ka lang kaya its better to run it 1 block a day or every other day...
