I've only allowed the fuel to get close to empty a couple of times in the 9K miles since I've owned the car. Seems to me when the fuel is low (within the red "warning" zone) that the engine idles a little rough. I'm imagining there could be a little moisture in the tank that doesn't make it into the outlet until the level gets low. Anyone else experience this? Seems like fuel conditioner should absorb any moisture in the fuel and would be an easy fix. Thoughts?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I can't say that I ever get that low on fuel so I can't tell you how it idles but generally I don't let it go below quarter tank because of sediment. (not to mention I'm afraid to get stuck somewhere and I'd have to leave to car on the road while I run to the nearest gas station. ) Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. -Moto
I've gotten down into the warning area quite a few times on some long trips, but never experienced this problem. brad

It's possible this is in your head. I imagine all sorts of symptoms when my fuel is getting dangerously low
