Do GM drivers run with less fuel in thier tanks? Nope, drivinng habits have little to do with the problem.

Thats because the Fords sit more due to them being broken down.

As far as fuel pumps go, i have seen many more GM's go then ford's. GM seems to have quite a bit of trouble in this area. Mostly GM trucks....Not to mention fuel sender failures and faulty reading fuel gauges due to the sender. rare i see a ford in the local shops for pump failures or fuel sender problems. Gm has the most failures out of the big 3

The pump sets in a sump, so makes no difference the fuel level. The pump is always covered with fuel, keeps it cool and from blowing up.
Would be dumb to make a fuel tank that you could only use half or 3/4.
