You figure if you're at a quarter tank on a 19 gal capacity then that is about 5 gallons. On a 16 gal tank that is about 4. At an eighth you have about 2 gallons which is not safe at all even for NA engines. Definitely not safe for my cars. It isn't worth the risk. |
This is good practice - in tank electric fuel pumps do not like heat, and in saying so, 1/4 tank of fuel heats up quickly in the hot months.
