Your dealer didn't give you a free tank of fuel... that's just not right... every vehicle I've bought in the past get's a free fill up.When we picked up our truck at the dealership the "Miles To E" display showed "0" miles of fuel remaining, and the out of fuel chime was ringing.
We drove about 3 blocks and filled up the tank.
It took 18.524 gallons before it shut off the pump. Fuel capacity per page 319 of the owners manual is 18.8 gallons.
18.8 - 18.524 = 0.276 gallons remaining.
I would think it keeps the pump cool.i have driven several times below 10km remaining.
not even abrupt cornering made a difference.
but the comment above, about keeping the fuel pump submerged....why is that an issue?
Fuel pumps are typically cooled by the fuel. If the pump isnt submerged anymore the pump could get hot and lead to a premature failure.i have driven several times below 10km remaining.

The fuel pump is also cooled by pumping fuel though it. Running low on the tank is not nearly as bad as running out of fuel completely.Fuel pumps are typically cooled by the fuel. If the pump isnt submerged anymore the pump could get hot and lead to a premature failure.
