I'll be trying to coast into the dealership tomorrow running on fumes. They need to drop the gas tank to look at my filler neck and find out why the auto shut off does not auto shut off until after the tank overflows.

I was thinking more along the lines of a realistic emergency but this is America. I've seen stranger things happen.

This is one of those things that provides no benefit for attempting, but has total downside risk if you fail to succeed.

Just don't do it!

Why do I have to keep knocking common sense into people's heads?
