Ahhhhh, reminds me of several years ago, returning from Everybus on Sunday morning and traveling through Lynchburg Virginia (bible belt) and NO gas stations were open. Because of that, I ran much lower on fuel than I intended to. Finally found an open gas station and filled up. Took off north on Rte 29 and in about 50 miles had just a quick cut out. Then another. Then another. By Charlottesville the van was running horribly. Running so low of fuel had sucked in crud from the tank and clogged not only the fuel filter but the injectors as well.
