    You dont want to do that in a gas car either. A lot of the impurities in the gas settle out to the bottom of the gas tank, if you run your vehicle low on gas its easier for that layer to be agitated and your engine takes those impurities instead.

      I wonder if this could also be used kind of like flushing your hot water heater.

      If I run my car low consistently, agitate whatever is in there, wouldn’t I eventually clear out most of it leaving less and less impurities?
