Must've been pulling fumes. I know the tank is 18.5, and the fill tube has to be at least .5 gal, so yeah, your tank was empty, lol.

Hope you have a spare pump on hand for when yours dies, lol.

Not to mention that he probably filled it so full he killed his charcoal canister too! I know they have an achievement in Halo 3 for 2for1, shame they don't have it for a car.

Most I ever was able to get in was 17.5. I dont like running it low, with the Buick, the gauge looks the same whether it is a quarter tank, or on E.

Either that, or Weights and Measures needs to check that pump. :)

I've stuffed 17.9 gallons into my LeSabre's tank before. That was when it was run into fumes. And my pump was just fine.

That and the fact that you have no reason to lie. :)

I get worried when the DIC says 17.5 used gallons.

right now at an 1/8th of a tank it would take roughly 100 bucks to fill up my truck
