| Description of the problem | I was driving and the fuel indicator indicated 70 miles to go last time i saw it. I only had to drive 10 miles home and the car suddenly stopped, thankfully on a local road. Some warning lights started appearing and i couldnt make what the problem was. I tried to restart a few times until i decided it had to be fuel. We pushed car to side of road and went to gas station to get gas. Came back with gas, refilled and car started and went home. I thought it was my fault, althought i couldnt explain why the last time a saw the fuel gauge said 70 miles and i was just going home, not even 10 miles to get there. |
