OBC failed me tonight

[AlpineIS]

Happy Holidays to all!

I drove around quite a bit today and while on the highway I ran out of gas. The needle on the gauge was never really pegged at the end and the light never came on until I was litterally pulling over.

The OBC read "51 miles" to empty so I feel a bit let down by it. I have read from others here that they have seen theirs go to "---" and were still running so I thought I was good until I could get off the highway less than 5 miles where I was left stranded.

Today wasn't the best day for this to happen but luckily I was close enought to my dad's house and he bailed me out.

I realize it is not the OBC's fault but the fuel senders that supply the level. Still, I was dissapointed and of course, pissed off.

I just can't rely on the OBC or the gauge for that matter until the senders are replaced.

Hope everyone had a nice day!

yea....i made it from napa california all the way down the 5 to the beginning of the grapevine in one tank. but that was after changing the spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, with a brand new fuel filter. It was around 340 miles. although for the last 20 miles i was sure i was gonna run out of gas.
