P.S.
I’ve read that it is not a good idea to run a vehicle with an electric fuel pump below 1/8 (or a bit more) of a tank full.
The reasoning is that the fuel helps cool the electric fuel pump as the pump is usually immersed in the fuel.
Heat kills stuff.

I guess that makes sense and I should be paying more attention when the needle approaches E.
