Backfire

[SloMagnetic19]

Hey guys,
So my low fuel light came on as expected. Drove to the gas station had about 25 miles to empty. Car stalled out but fired right back up. Got gas, filled it with 93 and drove away like normal. Pulling away from a light it had a huge backfire. Ran fine after. No CEL or anything. Car is a 19 GT A10 paxton 1050x bap FFE.
Any ideas? Thanks

From the tank being low I take it? Seen this before?

Yes. When the tank is very low the pump sucks air. It’s also very bad for the fuel pump. The fuel is what keeps the fuel pump cool

Yeah if you have a fuel system with no basket you should get gas at 1/4 Tank every time dont let it get any lower or you will burn up the pumps.

I have had a lot of customers run the tank very low before filling up. Well the pump got hot and then they fill up with cool fuel and then the pump goes out
