I have not been able to do anything on the car due the weather and my garage in Winter configuration with snowblowers, shovels, plow truck, etc, etc. I also will need to get the present gas level down to the pick up so I will have minimum dilution of the new non ethanol gas. Right now I have about 1/4 tank of 93 octane ethanol fuel.If I drain the tank I will be way below the pickup level which the require a ton of gas just to regain the prime. When I first got the car I was running out of gas so I was heading to the nearest gas station about 4 miles down the road. The gauge was reading E. All of a sudden the car started exhibiting all the symptoms of fuel starvation. I started weaving back and forth to keep the fuel going in the pickup.Made it about a mile like this and then it finally died.Big mistake because it took many hitchhiking trips to the gas station and filling a 1 gallon anti freeze which they had lying around.I think it took about 4 gallons before the gas level came up before it would start. Will never do that again. If anybody ends up in this situation, dont try to keep the car alive unless you can actually see the gas station!!! Now I always fill up around the 1/4 mark.

So are you saying you ran out of gas and that was the cause of the car not running for more than a few minutes?
