370 PSA, fill up your tank or turn left only

I wish it was that easy of a fix, but I guarantee it will do nothing. The pump simply gets no gas once the reserve runs out inside the little container and all the fuel sloshes to the left side. We need Nissan to put a revision on that motherf-ing part.

I find this issue so weird. I have gone down to 1 dot multiple times and once it went down to 0 dots but I've never had a problem. Usually I'm not on the accelerator much when I'm down that low because I just want to get to the gas station but I definitely been on the gas and corners with less than 7 dots.

I've been on both ends. I've dropped all the way down to zero dots no issues what so ever 5-6 dots and a double clover on ramp put me on the side of the road. I was definetly pushing it when it cut out though not exactley "street driving" I just take it slow when I'm down below half a tank

thanks Nissan

Were you able to get it started or did you need a tow?

I was able to get it started again the first attempt the engine turned but never fired after letting it sit for 5 minutes it fired back up

Im in the same boat I have done this at least three times and have not had this issue yet.

Yep it is a very bad design. And as you have noticed the pump can't prime when that container is empty and the only way to get it to prime is to fill the tank full enough that the gas goes over the walls of that little container.
