Run out of gas?? I guess if you only have to fill up once every 1000 kms,
it's easy to forget the car needs fuel to run. lol. I, unfortunately, am

I seem to have a leak in my tank, but when I drive slower, it leaks much
less for some reason. Hmm

Yup. I used a clean grease gun to pump fuel through my
