[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 151150, member: 153"] Not a good idea to run to the point the warning light comes on. Must remember that the pump is an electro-mechanical device. It generates heat. The fuel in the tank acts as "coolant" - thereby keeping the operating temperature of the pump lower. Heat will eventually result in premature pump failure. Ideally, you would run on about 1/4 tank for efficiency, in terms of weight savings etc. However, you will have to visit the petrol station more often, which to me is like too much of a waste of time. Filling it to the brim could be wasteful if u drive spiritedly. The fuel could be lost through the overflow tube when you corner hard. Start worrying if it gets out though your fuel cap :nyehehe: - means u need a new one (not usually the case). [/QUOTE]
