Tough to blame someone for trusting a gauge that everyone essentially trusts, but that sure sucks to think that $5 worth of fuel could've saved you all of that PitA. Glad it's not the unobtanium flux capacitor or something equally expensive!

My car was 100feet from a gas station when the car was not starting too. I've never had my fuel readings be that off before. Should of known...but I am happy it was not something serious. I'll call Haltech tomorrow to find out what is the issue with the EMS.

Sometimes a fuel pump will burn out if gas runs out. Not sure if our Walbros overheat running dry or not...
