Driving a car with an empty fuel tank can directly affect the fuel pump. The fuel pump is directly connected to the tank and is responsible for delivering fuel to the combustion chamber. When the amount of gasoline is insufficient, the pump will only be able to suck in air. If this happens frequently, it will affect the fuel pump, causing the engine to stall, short of breath when accelerating, etc.
In addition, driving a car with an almost empty fuel tank can also directly affect the car's engine.
Mechanical parts only operate effectively and durably when the fuel tank is full, and moreover, these parts are easily eroded by external factors.
Sediment stuck to the filter not only causes blockage, preventing fuel from entering the combustion chamber, but also increases the risk of dirt entering the fuel pipes and vehicle engine . If this condition is not resolved soon, it will cause problems in the exhaust pipe, the engine will be susceptible to corrosion, and will operate with poor performance.
Not only does it damage the engine, driving when the fuel tank is low also poses a great risk of causing an accident. Many people still wait until the gas tank is empty before refueling. However, it is not certain that the remaining amount of gasoline is enough for the vehicle to move to the gas station. Lack of fuel can lead to a sudden stall, potentially causing an accident from the vehicle behind.
