I wouldn't go below a 1/4 tank in our '96 because the tank is disproportionate to the gauge. 1/4 is not really 1/4 capacity. At 1/4, we run our of gas fast.

As far as dirt, use a cleaner occasionally and replace your fuel filter when suggested. Otherwise, go as low as you want. Any dirt will end up in the engine eventually. The sloshing of the gas while you drive mixes it all up.

OTOH, when storing a vehicle you should fill the tank up to prevent rusting.
