Will the car suddenly stop if it runs out of gas?

The car won't suddenly stop when it runs out of gas. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Safety design: Every vehicle has its own safety design. Even when the fuel tank is nearly empty, it can still run for a certain period, typically calculated as 40~50 kilometers in distance. Of course, this number varies depending on the car's brand, model, road conditions, and driving habits. 2. Potential damage: Continuing to drive with an empty fuel tank can cause damage to the fuel pump. This is because the electric fuel pump installed in the fuel tank relies on being submerged in gasoline for cooling. If the fuel tank is empty or the fuel level is too low, the fuel pump cannot cool properly, ultimately leading to pump failure.
