eli5 how does the car not starve of fuel when incline?
In: 0
The fuel tank has a pump in it and the inlet to the pump is on the bottom of the pump, at the bottom of the tank. If the fuel level gets low enough and the car goes onto an incline such that there is no fuel around the inlet of the pump then it does, in fact, get starved of fuel and go dead. But it has to be very low on fuel and a steep incline for that to happen.
