Out of Gas

It has been another interesting day.

While out this evening, my truck ran out of fuel. Luckily my husband was following me and it was two blocks away from home. We also still had the jerry can we used for our trip to the Yukon. I was very fortunate or it could have been a lot worse.

I have never ran out of fuel before. I wasn't sure what was wrong with the truck. The battery light came on, and the RPM on the gauge started going up and down. I lost power but at first I thought it had just stalled. When I pulled over and tried to turn it back on, it wasn't turning over.

When the fuel was added, all it needed was a few good pumps on the gas pedal and it started right back up. I will try to ensure it doesn't happen again, but if it does, I know what to expect the next time. I also have no plans to get rid of the jerry can. It has paid for itself again and again.
