Running a racetronix below 1/4 tank
Is this a no no? I've heard that running a performance pump below 1/4 can cause the pump to overheat and become damaged. Is this true?

You can drive the car until empty, but I do not recommend racing or hard acceleration when the fuel level is low. Under hard acceleration, the fuel can be drawn away from the bucket. The pump then relies on the reserve of fuel in the bucket to feed the car. If you have a high HP motor this is only a few seconds worth of fuel. The bucket works fine on a stock vehicle, but if you have big power, you will quickly use the small volume of fuel in the bucket...
