Little advice for everyone. Never, Never, Never, run your tank too low!!! Everybody probably knows this, just thought I would throw it out there. Horrible for your pump,filter and injectors(which are expensive). By running your tank too low, your picking up all the bad debris and sediment left in the bottom of the fuel tank. I never let me tank get to the point of the fuel light coming on. Also, I run either fuel cleaner, or octane boost in my vehicle about every other tank, to keep the fuel system clean. having to replace a pump isn't easy, and injectors are just plain expensive. Just my .2 cents. Get some Redline water wetter, that stuff works wonders for the winter time, especially if you live somewhere cold where fuel lines get water inside sometimes. I always use during winter or after, even though I live in AZ. Gas has gotten worse IMO lately, and seems to clog up fuel filter easily lately. I have replaced mine twice in the last year. Always do the easy things first, IE. cleaners, filters, additives before moving to pumps, and injectors which are timely and expensive. Everybody seems to have good advice for ya though.

Thanks for the advice bro. I usually fill it up the first time the light comes on. There's about 1/8 left. I'm guessing theres another gallon or 2 in there? But yeah, here it's been freakin' cold, so I'm sure moisture has been a problem. Good advice on keeping the pump and injectors as clean as possible w/the easy stuff.
