bone head move !

Last time that happened to me I came to a stop in the middle of a blind curve with the left rear corner still in the road.
I went 100 feet back from my car and waved and shouted "SLOW DOWN !"
while a good samaritan went to fill a 3 gallon can for me. He even poured the fuel in while I kept the traffic off of him. I still consider that one of my top 10 worst days. When I got home I vowed to myself "never again".
Since then I've fixed my gauges and quite a few others too.
