I realize that this comment does not pertain to the stock Corvair, but
since a number of our friends have "converted", I will mention it.
Those with electric fuel pumps would be wise to not run until 'the last
drop' -- gasoline is both the coolant and lubricant for most modern
electric pumps. In the tank pumps can die within just a few seconds of
no fuel.
A good habit is formed by repetition, so whether it is your Corvair,
Model T, or Mom's grocery getter, don't run on empty.
