  • I recently scrapped various items from my personal junk pile. This included 2 dead engines, a few old exhausts, a tailgate, some rims, and various other junk metal items. All together it was over 750lbs of recyclable metal, and the total the recycling yard paid me was $40 usd. Since the value of a broken engine is low/almost negligible, I’d consider it a service that the mechanic will probably dispose of it for you.




  • Probably not, the in-tank low pressure fuel pump feeds the high pressure pump via fuel lines. The reason people say it’s hard on the fuel pump to run the tank low is that the pump won’t be fully surrounded by the fuel in the tank and will run hotter/harder. This shouldn’t impact the fuel supply to the HPFP, but it’s still not an ideal thing to do. That said, if you’re regularly running to the point that the car dies, I could see that causing an issue.
