Keeping your gas tank full, especially during the winter, may sound like advice there is no harm in ignoring, but neglecting your gas tank could cause costly damage. A lot of people keep their gas tank at least half full of gasoline, which helps the gas tank avoid condensation.
During cold winter months, even if you buy gas with ethanol, excess condensation in your gas tank could freeze and cause your fuel lines to freeze up. When that happens, your car won't start.
Not only can a low tank cause damage during the winter, but it could also be dangerous in case of an emergency. You certainly don't want to run out of gas on a cold, snowy day. Also, in case of a lengthy power outage that affects gas pumps, you will have a full tank and be good to get on the road.
