When winter comes, there's a simple practice you can follow that will keep your car running and help it start better during those very cold temperatures. That practice is keeping your gas tank full at all times and not letting it go below half full. You might think you'll save money by using minimal gas and only putting a little bit in at a time, but failing to keep it at full could result in problems.
Problems of Letting Your Gas Go Below Half Full in Winter
- Condensation could occur in your gas tank causing water to drop into the gas.
- Water from the condensation can seep into your fuel lines and then freeze them.
- Frozen fuel lines mean your car will not start, and they could entail high repair costs.
