When to Fill up
I know I have seen threads that give the best time fill up ... empty vs 1/4 etc ...
However has anyone determined whether its best to fill to half a tank all the time or refill at the half way mark? Law of averages aside, I was wondering more about gas evaporation and whether or not gas evaporates faster in a tank that is half empty with obviously more agitation or mostly full, with less room for agitation. Thanks ... |
Gas doesn't evaporate from a modern vehicle. Fumes are captured and burned in the engine via the evaporative emissions system. So I don't think I'd worry too much about that.

Good to know, thanks for the knowledge, now I can finally run a tank down and reduce the weight of half a tank ....

Also running the tank low constantly allows an electric (in tank) fuel pump to pick up garbage and debris and may shorten fuel pump life.
