I have a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder, and this morning when I was taking my
girlfriends sister to school it had stopped working. I just put fuel
in it this morning and so I know I've got gas to get me places, but I
can't rely on the guestimation system for too long.

What could the issue be? I need to get this fixed since I've got it on
the market to sell it. I can't afford a mechanic so I'm praying this
is a DIY job.

Thanks,

Richard

The last time I experienced a car that stopped working shortly after putting
fuel in it, the problem was that the fuel was actually about 50% water. Try
disconnecting the fuel line, pump some into a jar & see what comes out.

Get a crowbar or something, and bang on the bottom of the fuel tank a
few times. If the sender unit is in the fuel tank, it may jar it and
cause it to send data again if that's the problem -- maybe not very
likely, but it's an easy thing to do.

I'm assuming other gauges work
so it's not a fuse ?
jim's idea is a possability and maybe
some dry gas .
