My son bought a used car (1995 Dodge sprit) Good little car and had been driving it for 3 months. He left for work one morning, One of those nasty mornings 20 degrees 4 inches of snow and broke down on a long steep hill. I asked how much gas is in it? 1/2 tank he said. It will crank but wont start. He was 30 miles from home and less than a 1/2 mile from work so he walked on in and was on time. My trailer was down with a bad axel so I had to call a tow truck and had it hauled to a friends shop close by. When I got there hood is up and Vince is sitting there with his scanner hooked up to it and can find nothing wrong with it. We pulled the fuel filter and replaced it and still wont start. Fuel pump works cause you can hear it come on and cycle when you turn the key on. 3 hours later we were scratching our heads when Vinces wife walked in to ask how it was going, And Vince explained what we had done. She looked at us and said "Maybe its out of gas" and walked out of the garage. We looked at each other with and at the same time said OH NO! Sure enough dry. Put gas in it and it fired right up. 4 hours of work $75 tow bill and a $15 filter and HIS WIFE Fixed IT! How Dumb can I be! I told my son that 1/2 tank on the gauge means empty so don't let it get that low anymore. So far so good. I think the older I got the dumber I get. Bandit

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
