Way to run that fuel tank....all the way to zero. Wouldn't want to leave a lil gas in it, now would we?...hehe.

From their carfax it has a clean record and two owners. It looks really good. 1st owner took good care of her changing oil every 6-7k miles. Not sure about the second though (every 10k miles?). Worth to check out IMO.

Yep, great way to clog up your pump and fuel filter.
Where was this when my ZHP got totalled in Atlanta ...........oh well
I don't understand where the logic is that it will clogg the fuel pump. Do you mind explaining a bit how this is? I never realized its possible to clog the fuel filter with an empty tank.
From my understanding, since a fuel pump is constantly submerged, it most likely was designed to use the gasoline to cool it down as well. If there is barely any liquid in the tank, the pump has a risk of overheating. This is what I always though of why you shouldn't run the gas all the way down.
I believe that the theory is this - if the fuel level is run way, way down, there is less fuel in the tank to keep any dirt/sediment suspended above the pickup screen at the bottom of the fuel pump. When the fluid level drops, the concentration of all of the dirt/sediment right near the pickup point increases, making the fuel pump more susceptible to contamination.
Besides that, I am sure you know how much fuel starvation sucks at the track!

Anyone here know a ZHP'er who is local and can take a look at the car and report back? Please pm me, not the color I was looking for and doesn't have the cold weather pkg but mileage and overall conditions looks pretty good from the pics.
Thanks!
