[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 146949, member: 3537"] I was always taught to keep the tank full for condensation reasons. Good advice for a car with a steel tank. The bit in the video about the venting of the tanks through the charcoal to knock out the hydrocarbons makes sense but it doesn’t control moisture. But with the plastic tank it really does not matter. I never run the car with less than 1/4 tank to protect the fuel pump from overheating... which was a known issue in the 90s on vehicles. Is it relevant anymore? So here we are in almost 2019... things are different now. We have to now consider other woes like ethanol and the negative effects of it sitting in our tanks. Even repairing fuel tank issues in a modern corvette is a nightmare. Wow so much torn off the car to get the tanks out. 😱 So .... old dogs and new tricks for us it seems. [/QUOTE]
