A word of caution. As out resident GURU (MX-5) has pointed out in another thread, you should not go below 1/4 tank. This is what was said:

Being that the fuel is the only coolant for the fuel pump in the tank, you would be wise to refill long before the light comes on.

A $210 fuel pump and $200 labor for installation is good reason to keep the pump submerged in cooling fuel at all times.

I replace a lot of fuel pumps, but none on the customers who keep it above 1/4 at all times.
