Stuck on the freeway

///PureSwank · 09-09-2013, 03:17 AM

I agree. And its a sad fact. I know that if something were to happen like that to me for no damn reason and i dont auto cross or track, but ended up stranded in some highway because of THIS issue. Nissan and the dealership would have a hell of a fight coming too them. WWIII Type of ****.

I'll take the beer though. Ship to 513 area code.

Honestly, do it, give them hell if you want to invest the time, lie and call corporate, if a solution is going to occur, it will happen because you and others call in.

Need help, or pointers or suggestions when calling, my number is whore'd out alllllllll over the forum, call or text me (text preferred, then I'll call you, or leave a message, I don't pick up unknown numbers)

If they would have just put a 1/4 in tube to balance fuel level on both sides of the tank we would never have this problem...ever! Too bad when they redesigned these they didnt' keep the same tank as the 350.

Sorry to hear CB.

I bought a new maytag fridge for 1500 and it broke in 6 months needing a new compressor.
I was the idiot for buying a maytag.

maytag, you f-king suck!

Cbtech you should have text bro. If I’m not mistaken that’s right buy Centerfolds 20 min away from me. I would have helped out a fellow stranded Z. So what ended up happening what’s the outcome.

7speed · 09-09-2013, 10:10 AM

Damn sorry to hear this happened to you at 5-6 dots. That's at least 100 miles to go on a tank. I'm not sure what kind of turns you guys are taking or how fast. But with that much fuel it is definatley an issue, and I"ll say it again if they put out recall for Quest for this, why not the Z? (Quest is more so software issue)

On a side note... I've driven Z with blanked out miles and 1 dot. Commen sense no matter what car I'm in, I'm not driving aggressive so I can conserve as much fuel as possible in those situations.

i should seriously consider buying a 3gal gas tank and keep it in the garage.

then if this shitt happens to me, i can call the wife and ask her to fill the tank and bring it over.

thanks for the tip.

Amazon.com : No-Spill 1405 2-1/2-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB Compliant) : Lawn Garden Tool Gas Cans : Patio, Lawn & Garden

or shall i be looking at something like this?

Justrite AccuFlow 7250120 Type II Galvanized Steel Safety Can with 5/8" Flexible Spout, 5 Gallons Capacity, Red: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

Amazon.com: Scepter ECO Jerry Can with Child Resistant Closures (5-Gallon, Military Style): Sports & Outdoors

thanks, cb.

wooops, i accidentally deleted my post when i wanted to add the spout info. lol.

so i got the 2.5gal No-spill and their 206 flex spout.

will keep it empty in my garage until the day i need my wife's help.

actually, my wife tends to drive her car nearly on fumes often so i've been thinking of getting one anyway. kill 2 birds with one tank.

Good to have one around. I had mine for the lawn mower but got a lawn service now so never use it anymore.
