Sorry to go off topic, but here I go:
Running low on petrol can suck gunk from the bottom of the tank and into the fuel filter or injectors, which I'll spare you the details of why this is a really bad thing. Also some cars (cars with pumps inside the tank) often rely on a certain ammount of fuel in the tank to cool the fuel pump. Your pump could overheat and starts a fire in the fuel tank. In which case you do need the right mix of fuel and air to cause an explosion, but it is possilbe.
G2IC.com they made a whole post about thisQuote:

yeah you are right. i like it this way as wellQuote:

i only get around 400 from a tank and wtf fuel light? i havent read all the posts but my Teg dont have no fuel light (ive ran out of fuel 4 times :\)
on my old engine i got 400, and on my NEW engine i got 400 too :\
i get about 500-520 out of a tank and run on vortex and i don't have a door light sensor on my dash to say my doors are open only a boot one and for a fuel light i only think the usdm acuras have them and the xsi or something similar to that
^^ this is partially rightQuote:

and as to the tank exploding I dont think it could, what would actually hapen is that the fuel pump will run hot and most likely sease up and stup working, but by the time this hapens you most likely hear the pump making whynning sounds then next thing you know the pump is farked.
^^this sounds right to me btw lo_n_sxc i see your old car like every week!
