🚗⛽ Did You Know? Driving on Empty Can Cost You More Than a Tank of Gas!
Many drivers wait until the fuel light comes on before filling up, but making it a habit can put extra stress on your vehicle’s fuel pump.
Your fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and uses fuel to help keep it cool. When fuel levels get too low, the pump can overheat and wear out faster. Running near empty can also pull more dirt and sediment from the bottom of the tank, putting additional strain on your fuel system.
A failing fuel pump can cause:
✅ Hard starting
✅ Loss of power
✅ Poor performance
✅ Unexpected breakdowns
Mayers Auto Care Tip: Try to keep your fuel tank above ¼ full whenever possible. It’s a simple habit that can help extend the life of your fuel pump and save you from expensive repairs down the road.
