I went low on gas, I apparently thought I just had about half a tank in the gas tank but maybe I saw wrong. However, now my truck is empty and my truck won't start. I put about 7 gallons of gas in it because the gas light was on. Didn't change truck still won't start. But gas light turned off. Now the ABS light is on. I might have cranked the truck to many times, maybe thats why it won't start. I also put fuel and carbourater injection flued in it. Still not working however it still turns on. What do I do?

My concern is that you either plugged the fuel filter or burned up the pump. I need you to check fuel pump pressure.

Here is a how to for checking.

You will need a gauge, but most parts stores will lend you one. The pressure should be between 44 and 54 psi.

Let me know what you find.
