gas tank capacity

Don't you run the risk of sediment getting picked-up if you run the tank too low?

I rarely go below 1/4 tank.

Ive always heard that the condensation/water builds up at empty so its good to keep it not too low...

Back in the day when underground gas containers were metal and would rust, yes.

Now, they're much more resistant to corrosion which makes "sediment" a non-issue.
