No gas?

Yeah, it's been talked about greatly on the forums, search for "fuel starvation". The thing that throws me is that the gauge went from 1/4 of a tank to empty

I haven't heard any reports of that. How far did you drive before fill up, and how much did it take to fill the tank?

Yeah, and actually in Mike's first post he mentions how it showed empty as well. I guess that makes sense since the sensor is probably near the fuel outlet. Stupid U shaped tank.

The gas my friend brought me put me at a quarter tank again and I drove about 13 miles before filling up. It took 15 gallons to fill up at the gas station.
