Re: Out of gas with 5 gal in the tank? 95 Dakota V8

There may be a rubber pick-up tube at the bottom of the pump assembly in the tank that has fallen off. The only way to be sure is to drop the tank and remove the fuel pump assembly.

Or the tank has a 5 gal. dent in it, although this should be obvious.......

When it runs out, are you SURE there is still gas in the tank? Can you shake the truck and hear gas sloshing around?

Sometimes if there is a problem with the filler neck or vent, the tank simply will not fill up all the way full, so you think you have a full tank, but you don't.
