Ok Mr. Wizenheimer, guess I should rephrase that. lol
If your tank can run down close to E, and your sending unit isn't screwed up, pretend that 1/4 tank is empty.

ahh, can't take but you dish it out..............lol

anyway, i agree with you and I'm all over my kids when i see their tanks below 1/2

with all the stops for sodas, snacks etc don't tell me they are never at a gas station.

I knew you weren't supposed to run your gas that low, but i didn't know that below 1/4 could be harmful. I usually take it down to 1/8th. maybe thats why i ****ed up my sender haha
