first-time fuel starvation. talk about a mood killer
First time I let my tank get down to 2 lights, thought nothing of it. On one of my regular roads I felt like pushing a little harder than normal. Quickly realized just how freaking fast these cars can take a corner without a hint of tire chirp. Harder I pushed the more it seemed I had. Great!! Big grin, pedal to the floor, no response. VDC? No... wait.. power steering gone. ****. RPMs, nada. Wait, push clutch and press start?! Pull over, car says 45 miles to empty and 0 leds. Crankcrankcrank nothing.... I killed my Z!! :icon14:
And I thought my insane day was over... silly me. Crossing fingers, hopefully (feels wrong saying this) just a case of fuel starvation. |
yep fuel starvation. but some gas in it.
|
Waiting for my free delivery of 3 gallons of petrol. Gotta love roadside.
To top it off im stuck on a pretty hefty incline with no flat ground in sight. Hope 3 gallons hits the spot!! P.S. tried cranking it 3 times and now my battery is dead :shakes head: |
just stop just don't touch it anymore. and yeah 3 gallons should do it it fills from the pump side of the tank.
|
Not a whole lot to do with a dead battery, but I guess I should stop beating on the engine block with that thar crowbar. Figerd id get the stuck fuel loosened up.
|
see how many cars you can flip off before one stops to yell at you or something. Or just call your roadside like every 30seconds.
Edit: or do what I do, put curses on Carlos Ghosn |
Lol so far ive had a state trooper and local cop pass by without glancing. Im off one of the 3 busiest roads in our quaint little town... bastards. Fuel should arrive in 5 minutes... anticipation is killing me. Hah! Almost as bad as I killed my car -_-
