Hi Guys,

I am note sure if this has been posted before but would just like to know for the heck of it.

Suppose I run out of gas, like I mean completely dry and then the car stalls to a stop/dead. I manage to get some gas put it in the tank...now will the car start right up after some initial hickups??? or do I have to do some kind of resetting to the ECU of the car before I fire her up???


Any insight...or your experience's will be helpful....

Thankx

It'll start right up, you should never run your car that empty, especially with the 2 gallon reserve tank

 

i thought it was .2 gallons?

 

are you saying this because of the sludge buildup at the bottom?

 

y would u even let ur tank go completly empty 4 ur taking a chance by doin that.

 

No, I'm saying that because we have a reserve tank, and letting your car sputter to a hault with no fuel being shot into the cylinders is just bad practice

 

He does have a point

 

I mean what if for some unforseen circumstances you do land up in this situatation what then...what r u suppose to do..... I guess the answre is it will start right up??? am I correct no resetting required....


Thankx

Just fill it up and start it

 

who the hell asks that?

If i decided to drive my car through the desert and for some reason i ran out of gas would it start up after i refilled it or would i have to restart the ecu?!!11

Fill up the tank, dont run it dry.

 

exactly dont ever let ur tank go completly empty its a dummy move if u do that

 

Are you serious...

this thread... hahaha

 

bad idea dude, i did that once, forgot to fill up even though my light was on, drove around, parked and then it wouldnt start, had to come back in the morning with a gas can
