Both times this happened I had just about over a 1/2 tank. Both times this happened I had more fuel in the truck than i usually do. I have NEVER filled the truck the entire time I have owned it, probably about 2 years now. 1/2 the time I put gas in it I poured from a 5 gallon container at my house. I believe that my fuel gauge is accurate.
The first time i was driving off camber and it happened I was able to coast to a point where I was only slightly off camber. truck would not start. Then I walked home. Came back about 20 mins later, started the truck and drove off like nothing happened.
The second time the same thing happened while I was in a bumpy trail with off-camber sections not far from my house again. This time though the truck would start and I was able to drive 50 feet and then it would stall. Same thing, had power and would turn over, would just stall shortly after that. I had to restart about 10 times to make it back to the house. There was definitely the smell of gas around the vehicle when I was walking around trying to figure out what was wrong.
