Recently I have noticed that I can't run my fuel all the way to E like I used to. Now as it gets close to E it seems to get lean a miss a little bit. Runs fine though wants I fill it up again. Is my Fuel pump going bad? Had fuel filter replaced once at maybe 60 or 70 k miles. |
happens before you even get to 1/8th of a tank. It's time to fill up
when you dip just under a quarter tank. From what I've seen gas is still
cheaper than fuel pumps. And yes I'm sure you're due for a filter, see
owners manual.

You're damaging your fuel pump every time you suck air with it which happens before you even get to 1/8th of a tank. It's time to fill up when you dip just under a quarter tank.

Agreed. Don't ever let your gas tank go below a quarter whenever possible - it is hard on the fuel pump.
