Yeap, Done my 1st 1K service last week and it doesnt help at all...
Now my full tank can only bring me up to 320 to 350KM only... Not sure why so bad..
Usually 60% highway and 40% city driving..
DUDA, fairly reasonable lar. I've been suffering for 30 tanks before I reach 400km/tank, provided that is after ma kar being "touched" by lhwj

I normally fill up when the warning light comes on. At that point about 29-30 litres will fit in the tank. Don't think I've pumped with one solid bar remaining before. Bear in mind that as pointed out above, only about 36 litres is usable. After many tanks you will know how far to push the warning light while preserving a safe reserve amount. When the nozzle trips, the tank isn't quite full, often you can fit another 2-3 litres by gently squeezing the nozzle lever gently repeatedly until the fuel nearly overflows.
Okay, about the fuel pump. Yes the fuel pump dissipates heat into the fuel as the pump is submerged in the fuel. When the warning light comes on there is still a substantial quantity of fuel left. The best way to find out is to take out the Gaga fuel tank, cut off the top part, fill just enough fuel to make the warning light disappear and see how much of the fuel pump is immersed. I don't believe the fuel pump is so fragile till the tank must always be at least half full. I've been doing this for two years and nobody here has reported a fuel pump failure. By not using the full capacity of the tank you drastically reduce the range of each tank (consumption doesn't change). I don't like filling up at the petrol station for three reasons. You have to handle the dirty nozzles, you breathe in the poisonous vapours and you expose yourself to robbery and car jacking. I'd rather run my tank low and fill up less often.
Errr... I used to dieded a few fuel pump on different vehicles, normally AFTER tank being sucked dried

The worst case I had was 1 of my imported car(can't remember what car/model is it ady), the ranjiao fuel pump is INSIDE the blardy tank! We had to take out the entire tank, open it up to fix the pump. So, since we need to open the tank, we get to see what is inside...

so damn much of residue in the tank

continue we grind open the koyaked fuel pump, all those rubbish was stucked inside the fuel pump that causes it dieded.
So, we(with my magicians) had an argument in the workshop for days/weeks/months/years/decades until recently I went back Ipoh talked about my GaGa's bad FC, the fuel pump KO issue still in argument. Below is our supporting fact, you make your own decision.
1) Whatever rubbish we pumped in, it will still flow inside the tank and get sucked by the fuel pump. So, be it fuel up at the most top of the brim every 1/2 tank, your fuel pump still die
2) Normally fuel pump didn't do any filtration, its the fuel filter that does it. However, fuel pump 1st, then fuel filter, that's why if those object stuck in the fuel pump, in the logrun it became blood clog, then heart attack liao.
3) Dares + Grexer type of saying, always keep the tank atleast half full to make sure nothing float to the fuel pump
Our unsettled conclusion is, regardless how bad it harm with considering the above facts, my fuel pumps always died"ed" after tank being dried. So, don't let it totally dried.
