Well there hasn't been any posts lately so I thought I'd add one.

Last year I was sidelined on I-85 Northbound after getting on at Laurens Rd. I was getting on the gas hard coming up the on ramp and just getting ready to merge when I lost power. Had to coast to a stop. Turns out that saddle-shaped gas tank wasn't feeding the engine from the right side of the tank since all the gas was being pushed to the left. I had over a quarter tank of gas. Tried to restart without any luck. Called AAA who brought gas and she fired right up.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a white Z with tinted windows stalled on Pleasantburg Rd just south of I-85. I suspect the same thing happened to that car too. Luckily the gas station was only a few hundred yards away. I stopped but no one was in the car - just flashing emergency lights.
