I ran out of gas last night with 291 miles on the odometer. My fuel sending unit is messed up so the gauge is not working right. I usually get 350 miles and still have some left over. I guess it's from this weeks traffic, since I've got a new job.
Anyways, my sister came by and filled it with a little less than a gallon. I drove only half a mile and it shut down 50 feet from the driveway of the gas station.
When I filled up I expected to hit 16.5-16.8 gallons, the max capacity. But it clicked at 11.2 gallons. I pumped it again and it clicked at 11.32. Is there some unknown pressure in the tank that I don't know about when you use up the whole tank??
It appears to be full since my gauge works when full, but anything afterwards it just goes wherever.
