kinda funny story i almost forgot......
so i picked up my car from the builder. we went for a drive and everything was running smoothly. i noted how smooth the car ran at all rpms, we talked abt the car, etc....i drop him back off and as hes getting out of the car he says, "you have a half tank of gas, you should be good to get home and stuff."
i drive home, make a couple of stops. i get home and the wife comes out. she ooohs and ahhhhs over the car and asks for a ride. ok.
we go for a short drive and i notice the car isnt running quite right. its surging just a bit, running a little rough. i think maybe its just the heat or something. we go for abt a 5 mile drive and on our way back, on a fairly busy street abt 3 blocks from my house at a red light, the car just dies. i start it back up and make a left hand turn. half way through the intersection it dies again. i coast through the intersection and stop. my wife is asking me whats wrong. (i have no idea, but im thinking the worst.) i try to start it again and it starts. it goes abt 10 feet and dies again. im thinking holy crap, all the time and money involved and this thing is seriously fubared. i instruct the wife to exit the vehicle, as im now afraid the car will be rear ended. i look for hazard lights. none. i try starting it again. no fire. i then push the car about 20 feet into a gas station. luckily the car is light. everyone is looking at the guy pushing his gt40 into the speedway gas station. ugg.
i push it up to the pump and start filling. the wife is worried abt the car and keeps asking me whats wrong with it. i say i dont know. gas gauge reads just under half a tank, but ill see what happens after i fill it.
it took just over 18 gallons. whew. i told her i believe it ran out of gas and the only problem is a very enthusiastic gas gauge....
sure enough after 18 gallons, it started right up.
i lit the street up pulling away from the gas station..
i was so worried thinking something was fubared when in reality i ran out of gas. ha.
any way to adjust the gauge so its a bit more accurate or no?
