[T3] where did the gas go?

[Russell Wolfe <russella@netins.net>]

I hate to admit it, but I ran out of gas the other day with the '71 FB. Gauge
showed 1/4 tank, and I was planning on filling up on the way home from work.
The station is about 1 mile from work. As I pulled out onto the highway, the
car started bogging down. I nursed it for about 1/2 mile, and got it off the
highway, and onto the side street that the station is on when it died
completely. Pulled off onto the shoulder. and shut it off. After it had set for
about 5 min. and priming the pump with the key, it started again, and I took
off for the station. It died again, but I was able to coast into the station. :)
I could only get 8.7 gallons into it. (clear to the top of the fill neck.) I
wonder where that other 1.3 gallons went.???????
