Iv'e never been down to 10/15 miles left in the tank. But saying that when it does get low about 25 left in the tank, it does tend to stall when put in drive or reverse..........

Don't know if it's normal or too low for the pump, but my car seems to stall when the petrol is a bit low

There must come a point where it sloshes to one side and the pump is just sucking air (?)
