    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.

    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 .

    +1. Alam niyo bakit lagi akong nagpapakarga ng kalahati palang?

    Share my experience kahit OT.

    I know someone na palaging sinasaid ang gasoline niya then 1 day, ayun naging ma-traffic, ayun ang loko, kinakabahan hahaha dahil umilaw ang fuel indicator niya. Ngayon palagi na siyang nagpapa-gas kahit kalahati.

    Maganda ang ganitong practice dahil kahit may emergency, makakapunta ka sa kailangan mong puntahan ng mabilisan. Ex. May kailangan itakbo sa hospital, alangan namang magpapakarga ka pa sa gas station diba?

    since gas prices are fluctuating, i had the habit of always full tank. how?

    give car a full tank of gas and once it reaches 3/4 of its total capacity. top up again to full tank. in the long run, makakamenos ka kahit pano kasi you've filled up before to a certain amount of gasoline. in case the prices kick higher, all you're going to fill up is a portion of your tank.

    Since relatively bago pa ang ride mo. wala pa naman dumi na puwedeng mahigop mula sa tank.

    Nakakahiya lang na maubusan ng gas.
