Wow, you're just having all sorts of bad luck nowadays, eh Lance?

I don't wipe down my skimmer neck. I use a cheap scrubber brush from IKEA and rinse the gunk down the sink. Nothing to clog.

When I worked at the local Shell station years ago, had a guy literally run out of gas at the entrance of the station. Couldn't squeeze another 10 feet out of it. He then spent 15 minutes running in to pay a deposit on a jerry can, fill the can, run in to pay for the gas, pour gas in, drive to the pump and fill her up, return jerry can and get back deposit and pay for the gas he put in. It was quite amusing although he looked kinda stressed, although probably not as wheezy as Delphinus

I have not run out of gas in any of my cars or trucks. but I have had cracked distributer caps twice same results no go till you replace. Once the distributer cap cracks it destroys the rotator. first time it happened was at the end of the day a collage and no one around to help push the thing out of the way so no idiot would hit it ( old Chevy 1974 step side.) try pushing on gravel up hill, Side note chicks dig it with no shirt and all... second time I was able to let it roll back wards out of anyones way no pushing.

Theoretically, I never ran out of gas. It was the wife's car!
I never let my gauge get below 1/8 tank.
