Re: low on gas...tuff start!!! (punkassazn)

first off letting your gas that low is hard on the fuel pump and sucking up dirt from the tank. The reason it takes so long to start it is that the pump can't suck it up right away and it has to build up pressure to send it to your engine. Fill up a little sooner and you won't have that problem.

Werd. My friend runs his CRX to bone dry all the time, I don't know why.
Keep some gas in there even those gas prices suck.

Re: low on gas...tuff start!!! (punkassazn)

Do you have a FPR, because if you do somtimes if its a cheap one like weapon R it is hard to start, but that was just my experince. (reverted to the b&m FPR

)

Also, if your low on gas you might want to fill up and dont come in here and ask if its hard to start when gas is low thats just dumb. Turn your key two clicks and let the gas get into the lines. Then start it.
