Any thoughts?

Well I normally fill up when I get down between a quarter to half a tank, closer to quarter in the winter to avoid condensation and water build up. I choose to never run my tanks very low, with the new in tank electric fuel pumps the gas actually cools the pump motor, your less likely to pick up any water in your tank (from condensation) and never have to worry about running out..
