Many urban car myths continue to circulate despite advancements in system design, materials, and technology...this is one of them.

Moving the fuel pumps to the gas tank area (whether it be adjacent or inside), effectively eliminated the freezing fuel lines in winter and vapor lock in the summer.

However, I feel it's good practice to keep the tank moderately filled at all times. Finding yourself stranded in in a winter blizzard or an 18-mile traffic jam on a stretch of highway with no exits, makes you glad you went ahead and topped off!
