What to do if my truck runs out of gas?

Besides giving Stanton Towing & Truck Repair a call so that we could come help you, the most important thing to do is to steer your truck to the side of the road. Even if you're in a school zone or other regions where drivers have to be extra cautious, leaving your truck in the center of the street is just asking for an accident. 

If your truck stopped in the middle of the street then make sure that the break is off, then put it in neutral and attempt to push the truck to the side. If for some reason, you cannot push the vehicle then do everything you can to make your problem evident to other motorists (i.e. flairs, hazard lights). If you are in the city and there is no shoulder then push your vehicle to a side road that has less traffic.

Why did I run out of gas so fast?

If you run out of gas but feel certain that it ran out faster than it should of, then there can be an issue with your truck. One possibility is that the truck is leaking gas, leading the gas tank to drain faster. If you're getting the smell of gasoline inside or around your truck, then this could be a sign. It could also be an issue with your spark plugs which impact the correct firing of the cylinders and cause gas waste. If that is the case, you may notice white smoking coming from your engine.
