What Can a Full Tank of Gas Do for You in the Winter?

Driving to the gas station to top off is a small price to pay compared to what could happen when you are driving around with an empty tank of gas. These are a few things to consider the next time you drive by the gas station without getting fuel.

The less gas in the car, the lighter the rear. The lighter the rear, the harder it can be for the tire treads to grip slippery roads. This may result in the car sliding out of control or not being able to move forward in snowy conditions. Condensation is more likely to be forming in a gas tank when there is less gas because of all the added space. Once that condensation freezes, now you run the risk of the water freezing and then blocking the flow of gas to the engine.
