Ran out of Gas....Gauge read half tank
Forum: C3 HVAC, Fuel, Emissions, and Exhaust
Thanks Scott. I can see your taste isn't all in your mouth either! 
Long live steel bumpers!
How much Marvel MO did you put in the gas. I'll try that first. Thanks
I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

If there is a loose connection in the gauge with a poor ground or high resistance due to corrosion, the gauge will read too high. With no connection at all it will read way past full. With a short somewhere it will read too low.
Usually a gauge too low is a bad sending unit or a heavy float.
To test for restricted vents, just drive with the gas cap a bit loose. That will allow the tank to vent. If it cures the problem, the tank is not venting. Then check the hose or the cannister.
(some day, no strike that, October 2008 it turned red, still in progress!)

Sorry I missed this ! I usually put about 4 to 8 0z in a tankful ever so often. In your case now dump a small bottle in a full tank of gas, it won't hurt anything.
