Default Question regarding fuel tank operation..

I have a question. I know the general operation on the fuel system, however I am curious if the fuel from the driver tank mixes at all with the pass side tank when both are full? As in, if you always filled the tank at 1/2, would the driver side just get older and older?

Op, that’s a good question. I wondered about that myself as I always fill up the C6 at 1/2 tank unless we are on a road trip.

Gosh I hope it would circulate continuously. The design is bad enough so you would at least hope that GM took circulation into account.
