In Winter, when to refill the fuel, close to empty tank, half tank or more? Thanks for advices!

 

Depends on where you are. If you live in Cali (grrrr) don't worry 'bout it. But if you live where you actually need a jacket, a half tank to be safe. That way, it won't freeze (I think it can freeze) and you'll have enough to get you to the next gas station if you have any kind of trouble. You don't wanna be caught out in the cold. But in all honesty, I have parked it for the night with less than a quarter tank and mine was fine...Wouldn't recommend it, but you can.

 

I've always been told that the general rule of thumb is 1/4 tank or more. But I agree with skytanker, half tank is the safest way to go

 

in winter i let it go down to half, just so i wont freeze filling it up.[8D]

 

I guess its good I live in Cali..cause honestly I let mine go below 1/4 tank. I kno its not great for it, but soo many times when Im coming home at night I just wanna get home. So thank goodness I dont gotta worry about my tank freezing, cause Id be the idiot stuck on her driveway with a frozen tank of gas and trying to find the extra keys to another car so I can get to work haha.

 

a tank freezing in cali... lol.

in the warm seson i take mine down all the way till the gas light comes on.

 

It's probably better that you do that every once in a while...That way you cycle out the old gas and stuff. Prolly not til the gas light, but that's just me...I'm not lucky enough to ever be near a gas station when that light comes on!

 

The thing about an empty gas tank in cold weather is the moisture/condensation that will freeze on the inside of the tank. The emptier it is, the more surface area for that frost to form. When that frost melts, guess what?

 

Hell, thats such a non concern for me that I didnt even know that could be a problem!

 

to be safe in cold weather a half tank is good. unless your like me and run it dry and have to push your car all the time
