So most cars have a gas reserve tank right? I'm wondering if our cars have one. I am really just curious. If they do, how much does it hold? I'm also asking because I almost didn't have the money to fill up last week and I wondered if I could go a couple more days. Also, if the car year and engine makes a difference, its in my sig

 

you are more likely to burn up your fuel pump than anything by going that low on fuel... park you car if you cant afford to run it! we dont have a reserve tank that im aware of

 

Every car has what's referred to as a reserve tank but It's generally rated at 30 miles after the low fuel light comes on and yes you will burn up your fuel pump. You could save yourself $20 in fuel for the price of a fuel pump. I think you'll find that doesn't help. The good news is the fuel pump has an access door in the trunk so it's easy to get to. They started that back in the early 80's

 

K thanks, I was just curious

 

theres no separate reserve tank. when the gas light comes on there is generally 1.5 to 2 gallons of gas left. that is if your gas level sender is still accurate. its best not to let it get down that low.

 

"about to have rims" and you can't afford gas? Get your priorities straight.

 

Unfortunately I've driven multiple times with the needle below the red line... I'll never do that again.

 

i already have money set aside for rims, in a "savings account" that i am trying to "save" for rims. i just didnt have any cash and wasnt close to a bank when i needed to drive 15 miles to my friends house. excuse me for trying to get by modding an audi with a minimum wage job at freaking arby's. i think im doing well considering

 

The "full gas tank mod" is much better than the rims mod.

His rims never spin - to the contrary, you'll find that they're quite stationary.

 

give the guy a ****** break, he was asking about his gas tank not his rims.
