Default sputter....

ok, fuel gauge is reading right at empty, on the red line, and car starts to sputter and idle somewhere around 2g and its like the throttle is just gonna stay there. i give her some gas, nothing. put it in a lower gear, nothing. still sits at like 2g. finally it kicks in when its damn well ready and i get it to the gas station and i fill it to the max and only get like 9.2 gallons. wtf? the tank is almost 3 gallons more than that.

at first i just thought i was running out of gas but not too sure what to think now. is it not right to think that maybe there's some trash in the tank thats just not letting me get all the fuel? i'd rather get another opinion before i take a look.

when you low on gas all the crap gets sucked through your fuel line and injectors, put a bottle of injector cleaner in there just in case and fill up before the red line
