well lets hope not. i have replaced numerous fuel pumps in Gm trucks in the past years and the owners all have told me that they have ran it out of gas prior to it going out. take no chances..... Originally Posted by Blitzed

I refill at 1/8 tank on the Trans Am.
I've let my old Chevelle run dry once at home and I coasted it into a gas station twice. (almost wrecking it the first time) It didn't have a fuel gauge though.

lol our old 88 chevy truck, the fuel gauge dont work, so we just go till it starts to sputter on takeoffs, and we fill it up. BUT we never drive it more than 10mile from home so it dont matter.
