Well damn....................

Well slap my ass in a wheel chair and call me Timmy!!!

So the last time I drove my hearse was Halloween night. It ran fine on the way to Psychoholic's party, but on the way home it started to spit and sputter like it was not getting any fuel. I figured fuel pump must be going as it was old, or maybe a fuel leak. I managed to make it home at idle, praise the car gods for powerful engines that can go for miles without touching the peddle.
So anyway I got it home and parked it and had not touched it until today. It seemed like a nice day so why not fix the car.
I tried to start it and it acted like it was getting no fuel at all..... I know it had enough gas Halloween night............ or did it??????

Yep I check the gauge, which is hidden and not exactly accurate, and then checked the tank....... fucker was empty!

I feel like a tard now!

that's an old caddy for ya. i think all of us have ran out of gas in our coaches at least once.

After laughing about it....I was glad all it needed was gas because if it had been the fuel pump that would have cost $$$

I don't know... If i remember right filling the tank on one of these beast's costs more money than a fuel pump.

DUMB ASS!!! LMAO
You wouldn't believe how close I've come to doing that.
I won't mention how many times the bike or the old ford ran out on me and left me stranded.

The rest of the day was entertaining for as in anything else he tinkered with I would walk by and say:
"you sure it just isn't out of gas!!"

Dumbass.

I remember saying it was acting like it was running out of fuel. I think your responce was I just put $??.?? in it last week so I know its got close to half a tank.

Good thing we didn't get a flat, you would have parked it for 4 months waiting on a good time to replace the suspension.

I think what was really funny was that Reaper didn't know he needed lead additive in his car

My gas guage hasnt worked since ive owned mine, so I pretty much just put gas in every time I drive it.

[BIGEVIL]

My gauge was broken and always read "full". Subconsciously I always thought I had plenty of fuel
Thats why I ALWAYS topped of when I took it out.
Why the hell it couldn't read empty to keep me on my toes.

[Psychoholic]

Mine too has been screwed for many many years - the trip to Denver a few years ago was fun since I had no earthly idea how many much gas I had left. We figured that it has a 26 gallon tank, I average 8 mpg, so at absolute worse I'd get 208 miles. So every 200 miles I'd stop and fill up. If I keep my foot out of it I can get up to 12 mpg (usually more like 10 or 11), so that helped. Now I just fill it up every time I take it out if the tripmeter says anything greater than 10.

[60Buick]

When the car dies I usually beat on the tank and if it sounds hollow I put more gas in.

[EvilManor]

Just out of curiosity is it that difficult to replace the sending unit?
