Default Ran out of gas today...

I decided to drive the Turbo car to work today. Pulled out of the driveway with .2 on the trip OD and the Fuel gage was indicating FULL. Then 24 miles later she ran out of gas... She still indicated FULL but the fuel pressure dropped to around 10. I was on 95 north in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness I had cell coverage.

So, my wife brought me out 8 gallons (after a double root canal earlier today, she was a good sport) and I put every drop in, drove her to the nearest gas station (20 miles) and then put in another 10 gallons... she was bone dry.

Thinking back, I'm I stored her with a full tank. Most the fuel must have evaporated and left the float stuck at full.

Well at least it was only 100 degrees...
