I've been thinking about this having to add 2 gallons to start all morning. I have a question to BIGTENHHR and BOSSHOUND. Did either of you try to start the vehicle before you added the second batch of fuel??

GCarp,
You know, I honestly can't remember. It seems to me I locked it up, and had the keys with me. But sure as the day is long, it read that on the information bar, because I noticed the small section of snow/slush build up that had been cleared away from the window when the cop must have looked it. I looked through it and saw that "LOW FUEL" was clearly vis-able.
In either case - I was glad, my hazards where on, so maybe that's why it was lit up.
ChevyMgr,
Yes, I tried to start it after I added the first batch...thus my concern it wasn't a fuel issue. It would be kinda foolish to add gas and then not attempt to start it though...

Here is what I was thinking. When the gas ran out at the injectors you would of had a foam of bubbles in the lines. When you added the fuel the first time, it still had the foam and possibly that is why it didn't start. I was thinking that the longer it sat the more the foam would dissipate. Just a thought. That's why I was wondering if you tried to start it before you put the next batch of gas in.
