MOPanfisher Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 After this morning I have altered an old saying to better fit the situation. "Those who fail to fuel, will fuel their failure". and that is all I have to say about this morning. Quillback, awhuber, Daryk Campbell Sr and 1 other 4
jdmidwest Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Sucks to run out of gas. Better half called on a Friday a few months back, broke down on a turn lane on a busy highway in 5'oclock traffic. First thing I asked, when was the last time you filled up? 4 Runners don't just die like that. Grabbed a gas can and prepared to hunker down to keep from getting hit. Luckly, local PD was on scene and blocking traffic for me while I poured a gallon of gas in and got her going. It's not that 4 Runners are perfect, their gas gauge sucks. There is something hinky with the attitude adjustment on the thing, it does not register correctly. They tried to build in a feature that reads on inclines and other angles. It does not work right, should just have a regular float. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Ham Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 I really like to start a trip with a full tank. I've played the out of gas game before. I did not like it much. It has never been my fault that put me there, but that doesn't make it suck less. MOPanfisher 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
176champion Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Wife calls me and says Windstar wont start.....she was at work..... i said what the gas gauge say she says just above empty ... so i throw 5 gallon gas can in my van and run over there to see that she was parked on a hill sideways and it was enough of an angle the gas was moved away from the fuel pump pickup so i dumped about a gallon in it and it started...when on level ground gas gauge showed a little under 1/4 of a tank which was usually about 5 gallons in it... I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips
