winterset Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Funny that i saw my 2002 venture mentioned in this post. My Fuel gauge is still broke. I just fill up every max 300 miles. I put ~60k. On it so that's alot of 300 mile fill ups. I am scared of working on fuel lines and gas tanks. Maybe one day or if the fuel pump quits. I just cant justify it. Besides always keeping the tank full probably keeps the fuel pump cool, lubricated, and healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is running it out of fuel and then attempting to get the engine started one last time to get the vehicle down the road a few more feet that kills the pump.
