There is never a good time to run out of gas but it happens.
In your case, the telltale sputtering and engine missing started when you were on your way home from Lake Tobias Wildlife Park.
You glanced down, saw your gas gauge was on empty and got out of the roadway. You were truly lucky because you were only a few hundred feet from a gas station. You were able to add fuel and get your car started again before any damage had been done to your engine.
But, have you ever wondered what kind of damage could happened when your fuel tank runs dry?
Had you not been so lucky, your fuel pump could have clogged your fuel filter with debris, scum, and sediment on their way to your fuel injectors, according to jdpower.com. Even if the fuel pump remained clear, you could have clogged your fuel filter or injectors.
If your injectors had become clogged, you would have been looking at a tow and a hefty auto repair job, jdpower.com says.
Although you might have avoided damage to your fuel injectors, running out of gas means you would likely get air into your fuel line that must be removed before your car would start again.
Who would have thought all these bad things could potentially happen just from running out of gas?
