    Both sorry and surprised to hear that your pump melted down. I always run my fuel to empty (but not enough to stall) and have not any problems such as yours.

    I didn't know that GM exported Firebirds over the pond. Just how did you get your hands on a Firebird in Merry ol England.
    Is it configured as a R/H drive?
    Have any pics? Something around a major landmark like Big Ben or something would look cool.

      U pay 8$ a gallon holy ****. And ive ran out of gas with my car before right after i got it. Cuz it turns out my car runs out of gas right before the gauge gets to empty. The funny thing is i was 40 feet from the pump when i ran out of gas.

                I keep it above 1/2 a tank usually, and no lower than 1/4 of a tank. I don't like to "risk it" by having my fuel pump die and having my fuel injectors clogged... in any of my vehicles.

                    I work with aviation fuel at a commercial/private airport. We do tests for water and particle contamination on a daily basis on our tanker trucks and at the fuel farm. Everyday we find small metallic and other particles in our Jet fuel and 100 low lead octane fuel at the low points and even after the filters on our tanks. I know for a fact that the vast majority of automobile fueling stations don't test nearly as often as we do. So, I don't run my tank dry on my car simply because I can only imagine the incredible amount of particle contamination in automobile fuel that you put in your tank everyday and would get sucked up by the fuel pump everytime the tank ran low.
                    And, aren't most cars diesel in Europe due to the high costs of gasoline? I know that they've even started converting Cessnas from piston engines to diesel engines (jet fuel) in a lot of places in Europe.

                      President of Ford announced this week that Ford would be
                      buying Diesel engines from Peugot. Look forward to state of the art Diesel engines in future Fords. Audi won the LeMans race this summer with a 1000hp turbo Diesel race car.
                      Diesel fuel can be made from McDonalds used greese, hemp seeds, etc. We can have the size cars we want, get 30% better fuel economy with Diesel.
                      Now in Europe about half cars sold are Diesel. Diesel is now 1 euro per liter.

                            of course, thats natural, the gas cools the pump
