Revenge on wife

[habanero]

You guys are hilarious and damn, my GPOD is on now.

(gas pump of doom)

Thank goodness my EFI relay is annoying to get to.

 

[jstim]

I like blow jobs too much to do that

Everyone knows when you get married wives get allergic to that.:bolt:

 

[Supermoney]

Its not they cant do it. It just makes them feel good when they can act like a little girl and have there man take care of them. After I relized that, me and wife have been a lot happier. LOL.

Lmao you do have a point.

 

[7echo]

I just posted that so I could show the wife. Now thats done, Im on your side!! LOL. Wife always gives me crap for not checking her gas, when umm, she should do it!

Leave it alone, tell her the gas will check itself...

 

[Wikki]

It's easy to tell which of us are married and which are not (or soon to be single again!). It's kinda funny.

LOL or have already been married and divorced already LOL

If 2 gallons of coolant can keep an engine cool, why cant 2 gallons of fuel keep a fuel pump cool?

Two gallons of fuel aren't running through a radiator.

I've got your back, OP. If you've already told her several times to knock it off, a little drastic action is exactly what's called for. Plus, it'll be fun.

 

[Trialrun]

I support this, it's the little things and those small victories!

haha.

The OP thinks that running the pump low will cause it damage. This can be true, as with temp change and pump not submerged the rubber cause start to crack and wear out. But most dont relize when you run you tank empty there is still a few gallons of gas keeping it mostly submerged. Only when running completely out where motor dies would it not be in most cases. Lots of tanks have baffles also to keep it submerged. I have ran all my vehicles pretty low and let them sit. Never had issues with failing pumps. Only if it was a non oem or cheap replacement.

what do you think a few gallons looks like spread across the entire length of the tank?
that's not deep enough to keep the body of the pump submerged. thus, the pump can overheat and be damaged.

the GF tends to do this often also. not as much anymore, since I have told her to stop MANY times. adding the fact the cost of the replacement pump being more than the inconvenience of keeping the tank fuller.

These pumps are small and dont push much fuel. They dont need to be submerged to stay cool. If this was the case than all motors would be submerged in liquid for cooling.

they are small, but they are pushing high pressure, and yes its best they stay submerged to stay cool.

I have personally burned up a few pumps from running it as low as possible. but, whatever you want to do and believe.

There's nothing wrong with this prank stop being "Captain Saveaho's" LOL :fencing:

The way to keep a fuel tank clean is to fill it - run it to "E" & fill it again, not once but for the life of the vehicle. This keeps condensation/rust at bay & small particles of dirt will go to your fuel filter. If you don't let it run down, that one time that you are below "E" & cant find a gas station all of that dirt at the bottom of the tank could possibly clog your fuel filter. If you have the 2.7 you know what a ***** it is to change. I've been doing this since 1999 & my fuel filter was very clean when I changed it at 143,000. When our light comes on there's still 3.5 gallons in the tank.

Hmm, ive ran everycar ive ever owned to empty, left them empty on harsh winters for over 20 years. Never personally had a fuel pump fail. But you keep thinking thats why our pumps failed. Its not why. I have ran 450LPH e85 fuel pumps empty and they dont fail. Thats a lot of fuel. They get so hot the fuel is superheated and that becomes an issue. But them getting hot and failing is not. Now running a pump dry all the time can cause issues, but thats running completely out of fuel. As long as fuel is going through its staying cool.

 

[gamefreakgc]

This thread is still alive?

And for the record, I bet all of your fuel gauges are off and when you think you'll almost out you have like 5 gallons left!

This is a myth that was created years ago when one of the domestics switched to in-tank pumps that were junk. You can run a modern fuel pump with no fuel around it for hours and it won't overheat. I know this because I've built assembly lines for Hella and we ran the pumps like this all the time during testing.

Do you really think Toyota's engineers didn't consider the possibility that people would actually use the full fuel tank capacity on a regular basis?! I run mine bone dry, every tank. I've done that for every vehicle I've owned for the last 15 years. I've replaced zero in tank pumps due to failure.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

My wife has a habit of running the fuel to completely empty like a teenager. I got in this morning to take the kids to school and it had barely enough to go the couple miles for the umpteenth time. I tell her every time don't run it all the way down it's bad for the pump!!!

Maybe a dick move but... when I got back I pulled the EFI relay. When she tries to go to work in a hour it wont start op2: I'll tell her she probably fried the pump, then I'll put some lawn mower gas in it and try "resetting" the pump and maybe it will work But stop running it down to empty!

I used to date a woman. Nice woman. Ditzy as Fran Drescher when it came to vehicles.

About a month after we started dating she called me and said "I ran out of gas can you help me?".

Sure. I'll be there in 1/2 hour.

Then, two weeks later, same call. I said "How did you run out of gas again?"

She said I don't know I really don't pay attention to things like fuel gauges, blah, blah, blah.

She said if you really cared about me you would come help me, I said if you really cared about me you would watch that little gauge with an E & F and fill your tank before that blinking red light comes on.

Needless to say our relationship never got past sex and dinner. I know that somewhere in Denver there is a guy who is hating life because he is the new me. LOL

from what i understand, the gasoline lubricates the pump, it doesnt cool it.

The point is, if she runs it out of gas, and gets stuck it will shitty.

I hope she has AAA.

If you run out of gas the pump stops almost as soon as he engine does, so it won't hurt it.

perhaps. absolutely I do. that's why they added a low fuel light that comes on way early. with something like 4 gallons remaining.

again, perhaps.



also, I am positive my pumps went bad due to low fuel levels. the check valve goes bad, due to overheating, and lets the fuel drain back. prevents if from holding pressure, and makes it take longer to build initial pressure. once running, there is no problem.


people will believe what they will believe, myself included.

the difference, if we are wrong. my way, there is no negative consequence.
