Default Re: Level in Gas Tank????

Every time you choke an A, filter or not there are fumes and gas dripping. Every time you fill the tank there are fumes it's not a sealed system. What difference would it make having under 1/2, 1/4 or empty, there are still fumes involved. Coming up with a very highly unlikely worse case in changing the float, hog wash.

There are a lot of “Hog Wash” things that end up happening.

Giving someone advice to be as safe as possible, I do not think is Hog Wash.

Giving bad advice, or don’t worry about it advice, I would consider Hog Wash.

You know there is always the chance of something happening. We are only talking about a gallon of gas at most. With tank empty you can properly adjust float at empty, you can drain out any small dirt particles, and no matter what you think, if something were to go wrong, you have done everything to avoid it.

Advice is free. Take it or leave it. That’s what this forum is for. Enjoy.
