You have may heard fill the gas tank before temperatures drop, but the reason behind it could be a little misunderstood. Gas doesn’t freeze the way you’d commonly think, it just moves slower and can harden and under really drastically low temperatures, it will crystallize. Now with that said, water does freeze at 32 degrees f.

Water can get into a gas tank and the water can freeze. If the tank is low, the car may not have enough time to warm up, to thaw the ice. And, ice won’t do that gas tank any good.

So yes, make sure you have a good amount of gas in the tank before the freeze, just to be sure, the car has plenty of gas to warm up.
