And after your engine stalls and dies out in the middle of the road, you&rsquo;ll be sure to never make the same mistake again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, always riding on empty can have repercussions on the overall condition of your vehicle, particularly the fuel delivery system. So if you think that riding on empty is one way of making the most out of your fuel tank, you might want to think again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damaged Fuel Pump<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fuel-pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fuel pumps\">fuel pumps<\/a> are located at the bottom of the fuel tank. The placement of the pump allows the fuel to cool down and lubricate mechanical parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moisture tends to condense on the inside of the tank if it&rsquo;s run low on fuel all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuously running on empty will eventually cause the fuel pump to overheat, affecting the entire fuel delivery process. Also, the pump will pull the sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/how-to-diagnose-a-faulty-fuel-pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"leading to further damage\">leading to further damage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engine Misfires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running on empty can cause the fuel pump to suck in air instead of fuel, making it difficult to start the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re on the road and you&rsquo;re out of gas, a sputtering engine is a telltale sign that your engine is about to stall., In some cases, even if you manage to refill the tank, the engine might not start right away. unless you prime the fuel pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unnatural Causes of Fuel Starvation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re always low on fuel even when you make sure that you&rsquo;re regularly refueling at the pump, there might be other reasons why this could happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damaged Fuel Tank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most mechanical components, the fuel tank can wear out after some time, no matter how good you are at taking care of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular wear and tear can cause the tank to become thin and brittle, but other factors like collision damage and exposure to the elements can also affect the tank&rsquo;s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worn-Out Fuel Lines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fuel-line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Fuel lines\">Fuel lines<\/a> deliver fuel to the throttle body or fuel rail, as well as return excess fuel and vapors to the tank. Most fuel lines are made from sturdy materials like steel, nylon tubing, or fuel-resistant rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For fuel lines to do their job properly, they remain as cool as possible to avoid vapor lock, which occurs when gasoline vaporizes as it passes through the lines. When a vapor lock occurs, the engine can stall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damaged Fuel Injectors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clogged or contaminated fuel injectors can leak after some time and might even get damaged. Once this happens, you can expect all sorts of drivability issues to arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engine misfires, rough idling, poor gas mileage, erratic RPM readings, and a no-start condition are common symptoms that point to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/the-top-6-signs-of-bad-fuel-injectors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"clogged or damaged fuel injector\">clogged or damaged fuel injector<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do When Your Car Runs Out of Gas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"car ran out of gas looking for assistance\" class=\"wp-image-128565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/car-ran-out-of-gas-looking-for-assistance.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If you&rsquo;re planning on asking someone to bring fuel for your car, it&rsquo;s best to consider the possibility that refueling might not get your engine running at first, depending on the condition of the fuel delivery system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s really not much you can do when your car runs out of gas except to wait. Always remember that for any vehicle-related emergency, it&rsquo;s best to stay calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel like your engine is about to stall, turn on your hazard lights and carefully pull over to the breakdown lane, which is the right-most lane on the road. You can also pull over to wide areas like parking lots if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key here is to stay away from highways and congested roads. This will ensure your safety and prevent you from causing traffic. After pulling over, you have the option to call for roadside assistance or ask someone you know to help you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re planning on asking someone to bring fuel for your car, it&rsquo;s best to consider the possibility that refueling might not get your engine running at first, depending on the condition of the fuel delivery system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Never Run Out of Gas Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running on empty is definitely not the best way to drive your vehicle. Always make sure that you have enough gas left in the tank before going out for a drive, especially long ones that have few stopovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also want to carry a few liters of fuel in your trunk in case you fall short. Most vehicles have reserve fuel even when the gauge is at &ldquo;E&rdquo; or &ldquo;empty,&rdquo; but that might not help you get far.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 4<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Drivers who are always in a hurry tend to forget a thing or two, from house keys to phones and&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/what-happens-when-you-run-out-of-gas-while-driving\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":128564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3767,53],"tags":[1185,1209,1197],"ppma_author":[2607,2985],"class_list":{"0":"post-128328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-driving","8":"category-features","9":"tag-fuel-injector-2","10":"tag-fuel-line","11":"tag-fuel-pump-2","12":"entry"},"acf":{"adrotate_specific_mobile_ad":"","adrotate_specific_desktop_ad":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Happens When You Run Out of Gas While Driving? - In The Garage with CarParts.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ever wondered what would happen to your car if you drove on empty?
