All the more so because on your car the fuel level sensor is mounted 1/2 down the tank, so when the gauge starts to move, you need to start thinking about finding a gas station. Oh, little tip, Al G - if you are running the mech and electric fuel pumps, the pickup for the electrics is lower on the tank, just like on the originals. If you run out of gas using the mech pump, turn on the electrics and it should get you to a gas station. I have personally tested this.
