Help; 4running out of fuel

[714runner]

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery ground to reset the computer and ya that is NOT a good idea to keep running it low. .

BTW ......Kramer is this you?

Haha good laugh and thanks for the advice

As for the most of you who had something clever to say, you're all a bunch bullies.

Someone not too long ago on this site said that this was the rudest forum he/she has been on, and I hate to admit it but I think its true. A lot of users go to these forums to learn more about their vehicle, so yeah, we might not know as much, but that doesn't mean you can bash another forum member for it.

If i could have more than 1/4 gas in my tank all the time, that would be amazing but I'm fairly young and don't make a lot of money and gas has been crazy expensive lately.

Thanks to Harper and anyone else that was actually helpful.

Young or poor basic math still applies. Drive X miles will need X amount of fuel so there is no saving money. If things are so tight that filling up must wait an extra day you may want to consider selling your expensive truck and buying something used and cheaper.

Being told the truth is neither mean or being bullied. However taking ones self too seriously is usually a sign of immaturity.

Good luck.

Honestly, nobody means any harm. You posted something that a reasonable person could consider mildly silly and they are just having some fun.

Stick around and get to the crew. It will be worth the effect, I promise.

Here's some advice: If you continue to do this you will require a new fuel pump. That will run you well north of $1000.00 because of it's location and the labor required. That equates to 20 full tanks of gas, or in your world 160 1/8ths tanks of gas. So you can't afford the gas? Sell the 4Runner and buy something you can afford to operate correctly. BTW the fuel pump WILL fail if you keep operating it in this fashion. After running any pump of this type like you have has already reduced it's efficiency. You are about to learn a very expensive lesson.

Guess what: If you travel "X" miles you will use the same amount of gasoline whether your tank is on "E" or if it is 1/2 full. To replace that gas used will require the same amount of money. Do it right, spend the same amount of money and you will be fine.

I would buy the old "I'm a poor young guy" routine if you didn't post this "Btw, the most miles I got on a full tank of gas is 452 miles, and I am always trying to see if I can get more" in your original post. You posted that, not me.

If you think this site is rude or bad? This place is candy canes and unicorns compared to most other forums.

I was going to post that exact (tired old) joke, but then figured this audience was waaaay too young to get it.

:drum:

ha! youth ≠ cultural illiteracy

but clever bullies

actually, not running your gas tank dry is pretty much Driving For Dummies 101. nothing to do with "learning about your vehicle." if you think this forum is rude you should really get out more.

If i could have more than 1/4 gas in my tank all the time, that would be amazing but I'm fairly young and don't make a lot of money and gas has been crazy expensive lately.

#1 whether you buy that gas you need this week or next it's the same amount of gas. running your tank dry is going to cost you...wait for it... more!
#2 you live in Orange County :wof:
#3 you drive a 2010+ 4Runner Limited :wof:
#4 you've admitted to running your tank down like you're playing some kind of video game
...youth aside, i think these four facts seriously diminish the sympathy level you're going to enjoy.

maybe you should be saving your money for gas and not spending it on new wheels?

Finally had the chance to pick up a set in LGM, and I am very pleased with them! Special thanks to Dustin @ FN Wheels for going above and beyond throughout the whole process. He was a very professional and accommodating seller and I couldn't wish for more. I had them installed at a local Phillips Tire Co with some Michelin LTX MS2. Here is a pic after I gave it a wash:

take the lumps and fill your tank. problems solved.

The OP can't get flamed - Flames require fuel right? :rofl:

Cmon [MENTION=91258]714runner[/MENTION] where else will you get cleverness like this?? and its free!

op2:

 

[bouncer07]

Is this even serious... if you bought a car that is well over $30K, why would gas be a problem? Just eat ramen noodles in replace of your gas money... done!

This reminds me of a gentleman who frequents my apartment complex regularly. Pulls up in his 1500HD on chromed out 22s and then proceeds to pick through the dumpster for cans. Priorities?

They're self inflicted and well deserved....

No one is bullying you...if you take umbrage at some of the responses, don't post third grade mentality remarks....basically bragging about running out of gas for no other apparent reason then to find out how far you can go on empty?

[MENTION=29376]sandcrawler[/MENTION] I got new wheels because I sold the old ones for more than these and it was time to get new tires, and yeah 20" tires cost more than 17" tires so overall I saved money,... If you don't know the whole story, then please just shut up.

And in regards to my mishaps, I didn't have my wallet on me the first time it happened, did anyone catch that?

 

[714runner]

[MENTION=109220]bouncer07[/MENTION], yeah the car is worth over 30k but i didn't pay anywhere near that much and couldn't pass up on the car of my dreams

 

[714runner]

St8rocks, pretty clever I admit

you're right, i didn't know that story. the only story i know is the one you told in the first post of this thread and the end of that story is still the same: stop running your gas tank dry.

and stop artificially inflating your post count by responding to multiple posts separately—use the multi-quote instead.

These people are big pussies compared to others. Want an example? Go to Pirate4x4. Don't post, just read. I can name many, many, many others.

Rude? Bullies? Don't get out much, eh Junior?
