Yes. I had a CBR 400rr. It had no fuel gauge. Designed that way. I'd be out riding it and it'll just stop in the middle of traffic. Happened several times.

Eastside of that Motor
I was riding in this older like '98 Blazer for a minute and the gas gauge didn't work. I can't remember how, but I had a system to know how much gas I had. Somehow the process got messed up and your boy ran out of gas on the freeway on the shoulder :snoop:

Had to wait like an hour for my girl to bring the gas can

No, I usually fill up as soon as it goes under a quarter tank. On the rare occasion i let get to low fuel light, i immediately go to the gas station. You usually like 20 miles left when the light comes on. Plenty of gas to get to the gas station. i always fill the tank all the way up when i get gas so i only have to worry about once every two weeks.

This.
I would fukking hate to be stuck on the road, especially when its heavy traffic.

Yeah once, back in the day. This shytty ass Mustang I had fuel gauge was broken, so I always had to guesstimate how close I was to empty. Funny thing, I was on my way to put gas in and broke down like 2 minutes from the gas station :skip:
If it makes you feel better, I live 3 minutes from the gas station, which is why I thought I could go in the morning, instead of the night before.

Even worst, I once ran out of oil:francis:

ran outta gas on the belt parkway during rush hour traffic. traumatic experience.

I ran outta coolant
:flabbynsick:
i had bottled water in the back though
radiator crack

I ran out of antifreeze on 495, on the ramp off the Turnpike, right before hitting the helix to the Lincoln Tunnel at FIVE PM, and you know they close all the entrances to the tunnel around 3 except for one lane.

Car started bouncing, then stopped. I had a full tank of gas, but it was over heated.

It took a long time before I learned how to take care of cars.

Yea. I rode it to E and sputtered into the gas station. I was like 16.

The other time was like a year or 2 ago. I was lazy and didn't feel like filling up and I didn't have time before work. So I drove to work. Parked on an incline and couldnt get it started. Luckily I had a gas tank with gas in it. The gas station was/is literally across the street from my work.

I've never been stranded though due to gas.
My alternator died mid trip, interstate, morning rush hour, daylights savings time. Was driving to work. All the power started flickering. Engine kept running, but there was no power. I knew if I stopped it was game over. Had no choice but to drive to my exit and pull over. Called work let them know I'd be late. Called a tow had it towed, dropped off and fixed all within 3 hrs.

Same situation with me. When I first got my first ride shyt was low on gas but can't remember who used it last however. Got in started heading to the gas station about ten mins away and I was paranoid as fukk that it would stop on the way. As soon as I drive into the gas station lot that motherfukker went off on me so had to call my step pops and waited like half an hour since he was out doing errands.

Long time ago in Detroit when I was in college. Was on a long stretch of freeway and it took forever to get to an exit. Ran out just as I was getting off.
