Is Canada really condsidered foreign these days?
Yes
North America is a long way from NZ
Most cars are designed around half a tank I believe
So ? to ? is right for most cars
Good mechanics will check the filters regularly
?longer vehicle life and lower emissions?
You will have to explain that one
You would think a lighter car would use less fuel
Less fuel used would mean fewer emissions as a whole
Less weight would reduce the load on the vehicle components
But you may know something I dont
One other thing if you have sludge on the tank you may want to look at changing where you buy fuel
From memory
We have regulation that determine the level of impurities in fuel
So I guess you dont have those
Anyway a rough road will shake up the tank
Starting and stoping will cause the fuel to slosh around the tank
I think you may be a victim of a myth on that one
?Your vehicles engine works harder with a low gas level than it does pulling the added weight of a full tank.?
Well that makes no sense to me
?2) Safety, if in an accident, your vehicle has a far greater risk of fire, or explosion with a low or near empty tank of gas than it does with a full tank of gas?
Well it is impossible to keep the tank full but I guess safety costs like it always has
Again you may be a victim of a myth
Most of the time petrol needs to be compressed to explode
But overall the full tank thing is not that important
People can make up their own mind
One other thing OZ
Where does the fuel line leave the tank in your car?
Top or bottom?
Or if you like
At what level is fuel to low to be sucked from the tank?
