Running out of gas can potentially harm your engine, but the severity often depends on the type of vehicle and its condition. When a car runs out of fuel, the engine may stall, which in itself isn’t damaging. However, the real issue arises because fuel acts as a lubricant and coolant for the fuel pump. Cars with electric fuel pumps, found in the tank, rely on gasoline to keep them cool and running smoothly. Running out of gas can cause the pump to overheat or suck in air, leading to wear or premature failure. Moreover, there's a risk of sediment from the bottom of the tank being drawn into the fuel system, clogging filters or fuel injectors. While occasionally running dry might not cause immediate damage, making a habit of it increases the risk of costly repairs. To safeguard your engine and ensure longevity, it’s wise to keep your tank at least a quarter full and avoid running on empty.
To remove oxidation from an aluminum engine, start by cleaning the surface with soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Rinse thoroughly. For mild oxidation, a mixture of vinegar and water or a specialized aluminum cleaner can be effective; apply it with a soft cloth in circular motions. For heavier oxidation, using a fine-grade steel wool or a 0000-grade steel wool dipped in the cleaning solution might be necessary, but be gentle to avoid scratching the surface. After cleaning, rinse the engine again and dry it completely. To protect the aluminum and prevent future oxidation, apply a high-quality aluminum polish or protective coating, following the product's instructions. Always wear protective gear, like gloves and eyewear, during this process. It's crucial to test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the aluminum. Regular maintenance and timely cleaning after exposure to harsh conditions can prevent severe oxidation and extend the life of your engine's appearance.
