My daughter left her 2001 Ford Taurus
My daughter left her cat at home with no gas in it for a week. It's now -11 here. Could she have ruined her car?
No, of course not.
No. The car is ok. Put some gas on it when you have a chance.
Give the cat some gas. It's probably starving.
It should be just fine. Worst case scenario is she'll have to jump the battery to charge it up, but that's unlikely if it's only been a week. No gas isn't an issue, if it's totally empty she'll have to add a little gas with a funnel or something, then go to a gas station.
It should be fine.
Anything is possible, maybe you should go put gas in it
Not if the Taurus is given ample gasoline before being started, no.
With no gas in tank it will when so cold be hard to start even after putting some in if we have empty fuel lines. If it was simply very low on gas and not actually run out? Then it ought to start as normal. Cars are tested to such extremes when being designed and built by manufacture. Assuming its petrol that is. If its a diesel car then waxing occurs in the fuel lines and filters. Here a warmer fuel is best and for vehicles used in extreme cold condition an engine and fuel warming system are often build in.
if its diesel? Then add one gallon new fuel mixed with 25% petrol. Not more! Or warmed fuel. In extreme conditions it's not unknown for warmth to be applied to fuel tank and lines such as hot water to allow fuel enough to allow flow and starting.
for simple car petrol in cold areas normal fuel will be OK.
Having an empty gas tank won't ruin a car. It will keep it from staring until you put at least 5 gallons of gas in the tank. After putting gas in the tank cycle the key on for ten seconds and then off several times to pressurize the fuel lines.
It's probably totaled by now
- 1995 Ford Taurus with a steering issue. When I turn the steering wheel to a certain spot left or right it will start moving back and forth? According to previous owner the rack and pinion was previously replaced. Steering wheel Is off a little to the right. Any ideas?
- Should the FBI be investigating Dr. Ford? We can easily see Dr. Ford has changed her story, gave her story to the Media instead of? Standing tall and testifying, refuses to be investigated, deleted her social media account history and emails and has all the earmarks of a Leftist that Hates Trump enough to distort the facts or lie. The FBI has investigated Kavanaugh 6 times, why not Dr. Ford?
- Should Ford be studied for her ability to not remember details about her trauma after 13,000 days. But after 6 days with her lawyer? Her memory during her drunken stupor becomes crystal clear? Could Ford's techniques be used with alzheimer's patients, the elderly, and other drunks who experienced "black outs?"
- Media and the left are bent on believing Ford no matter what. Will she make up details to make sure her story is believable? So far her only witness has denied being there. Her details are so sketchy they are not really believable. But, Kavanaugh is being roasted anyway. This is just terrible. The point being, she could say ANYTHING at this point and the left would believe it. She can contradict herself (the number of people in the room) or she can flat out lie because we're not demanding any proof. It is really terrible what they are doing to Kavanaugh.
