And the part you Bolded... You do know that the pump is mounted at the top of the tank and goes all the way to the bottom where the pick up is...Right? I do agree liquid fuel doesn't ignite... So when you have 1/2 tank of liquid.. What's in the other half of that tank? Oh that's right Vapor...


You Google experts need to post from a Fuel pump Manufacture that the pump will over heat with low fuel.. Then I will change my thinking, but I refuse to if you keep posting Wiki as facts..LOL


Hey its just an alternate source more likely to be true than not...I gave you another one as well...He invented the internet.

It seems you may lack the aptitude to make an original thought anyhow so I would waste your brain cells on it...


ps I don't need to do nothing...I know the earth is round.

see ya.

I'm not the one copying and pasting.... My argument is on my own experience and knowledge..


Do you really know the Earth is round or did you read it on the internet that it was??

Yes, but it would seem to me that as long as ANY gas is flowing through the pump it's going to keep the pump cool. Running it dry repeatedly might be bad, but I can't see how running it low would be a problem.
