Default Dumb*** move of the day

Have not had the Z out for 3 weeks. I was geared up this morning, going to run a few times at the track after putting the new injectors on.

-Helmet check
-sockets-check
-torx head screw drivers-check
-pen-check (the guy at the tech inspection hates it when you don't have one)

I hit the road, well over 1/4 tank of gas, and meeting Dominic at a BP so I will just top off there. I get about 7 miles, car starts to chug, then dies. I get out, check things, everything is plugged in, etc. The car will start and idle but dies after a few minutes. It cannot drive and dies when under load. I get in the car and listern.....I can barely hear a fuel pump.
-No codes
Call the tow truck.....I let them know that they can find me on rte 47, right across from the Mobile Gas Station.


-$100 to tow it back

After a few calls, I decide it must be the primary fuel pump. I replace the pump and go to put the assembly back into the car.......uhhhh......the tank is empty. I pull the assemly out, the float seem to move without obstruction....I put it back in and go an turn on the car.....

Tank shows as empty!

Nuff said.......day ruined.

Lessons Learned:
1) Always start with the obvious even when it seems to not be possible.
2)There isn't a-"No Gas" code
3)If you drive your car more you'd probably notice that the gas guage was not right.
