According to the fuel gauge, I still have some gas left in the gas tank.
Suppose I have an empty gas tank, will it make the fuel pump not working?
I am pretty sure that the fuel pump is not working, just don't know if it
simply died or other part of the fuel system causing it not functioning.
Is there an easy way to find out?
Thanks.
Max
