Now that you know the gas light isn’t as scary of a warning as it seems at first, it might be tempting to simply use it as your regular reminder that it’s time to fill up. In actual practice, this isn’t the best idea. Over time, deposits and other debris can build up in your gas tank, whether it is from heat, the occasional low-quality batch of fuel or corrosion caused by moisture. This gunk sits at the bottom of the tank, which means if you’re regularly running your car down to E before refuelling, you’re risking that the fuel pump will suck in something it shouldn’t and potentially impact your engine’s efficiency, performance and longevity.
