Or in English, I don't think it does any damage running out of petrol, diesel would be a different story though (the world would explode)

you shouldnt drive on low reserve or use all up your fuel. all the dirt that is in the tank would get passed into fuel pump and injectors. causing problems. such mpg, performance.

Recommned you by some engine/fuel treatment that you could pour in your tank.
I always fill up when the light shows and on monthly basis add some fuel treatment into the tank to ensure optimal runnning

I always run low on fuel and ha to call Seat AA man for fuel twice.
Did ask if any probs would arrise running low and twice they said 'not really'

It is dangerous running low anyway.
Big lad, do you find the cleaners make that much difference or just peace of mind?

You can get injector cleaner from most petrol stations or the likes of Halfords.

VPower contains some detergents that help with this sort of thing too, so a good couple of tanks worth of that can do wonders.
