Gas Tank during Auto Transport
I keep getting told to check my gas tank before I have my car transported, why? What does that mean, what do I need to check?
This is a very good question because of the safety requirements pertaining to the gas tank and the volume of its contents when being shipped by auto transport services. The gas tank needs to have a certain amount of gas in it so your car can safely and easily be moved transported. We urge car owners to make sure the gas level does not exceed a quarter of the tank when left in the auto transporter's possession for the safety of your car and the convenience of the auto transport company.
Large amounts of gas are not safe for automobiles to have in the tank when being transported and it is advised to deal with the gas in your tank before transporting to avoid running into a problem with the shipping company; It is not only a hazard for you but for the company transporting your vehicle if there's too much gasoline. You do not need to empty your gas tank, it is actually recommended that you don't leave the tank completely empty, just make sure the gas tank has a small amount of gas.
