3800 5 bottles of heet and a miracle

[Sinister Drag Designs]

so i drove to work this morning, and i was low on gas and didnt have time to stop
when i got there my digital said i had like 9 miles left, figure ill just get gas from the BP down the block after work
whold day goes by and get to my car and fire it up to go home, the gauge is pinned down and the digital said 2 miles(guess i was on a bad slant)
go to look in my pocket to realize i have no money and everyone had already left for the day
im in chicago and i need to get to downers grove
couldnt even find change
i look on one of the shelfs to see some one bought a case of heet(methonal)
i figure it cant hurt to see how far i can get on it before i call AAA for a emergency gas can.


well in stop and go traffic for 36 minutes i made it and the digi never moved and no KR(got out the PT to see if the low Fuel pressure was giving me knock and see how the LTFTs were) that shit is great. i think its time to change the fuel filter after that stunt
tho i did realize i snapped a trans mount comiong home <_<

You made it from Chicago to Downers Grove on 5 bottles of heet? I bow to you!

My gauge can be pinned, and the DIC says LOW (mine wont say 0, but I know its on or below zero given that the needle hasnt moved off of being pinned, after being pinned, for.. several miles) and I can only put in about 14.4 gallons at most.. BUICKS..

I bow down to you though, thats ballsy, especially in Chicago traffic.

LoL!

i can't believe you did that!
did you pull a spark plug for inspection? I'm sure the whole class would like to know as well!

IIRC 97's cant.. (figures :angry: ) otherwise you just press Reset while viewing the DTE.

On my car I would just hold down the reset button for like 5 seconds when I was on the "miles left" screen. It then tells you exactly how many miles left and not just "low" when its under 40. I went paste the zero a few times, I dont think the DIC is that accurite.

ROFL.. Only Bob can pull that off. Very cool, I'm glad you made it home w/o the help of AAA

ill pull the plugs to see, but i filled the bitch up and its driving fine. MY dtc is usualy pretty acurate. and yea you just hit reset and it shows the current
if you have a PT and or intercepter just watch your ign adv. i just tried to make sure it was always in the 30s or high 20s.

im now keeping couple extra singles in the car incase i forget my wallet again
just typical rookie move for me
