Yeah I feel bad when I get down below 15 miles or so left. It can also clear itself out if it is something simple like a loose gas cap.

I'm embarrassed to admit to it, but I've done it on two different cars, where the engine was starting to run rough as I pulled into the gas station. It's not a good habit as modern automotive fuel pumps are designed to be cooled by the fuel itself. In any event I'm curious to hear from Howard what the dealer did after he (assumedly) told them the problem started when the tank had far more fuel.
