Default Does low Fuel Level in your tank effects your fuel pressure??



I was wondering if anybody knows if low fuel in your tank can effect your fuel pressure? And how does low fuel pressure effect your car, especially under boost?? Thanks

no. thats why when you smog your car you need a cap test too. the cap is designed to hold the pressure at a constant level. same with the fuel pump too.

low fuel can put a strain on your fuel pump though. if your experiencing lag when the tank is low, your fuel pump mat be going out. or you need to clean the strainer.

I'm having the same problem right now, i've been keeping the tank over half full until i get a new pump.
