I was running off the tank that was just about out of fuel tonight - trying to squeeze out every last drop...well I forgot I had it on the empty tank and I was coming down the street just about to the house when she started revving up and sputtering. I switched to the full tank as quick as I could and rode it home. When I parked in the driveway she wouldn't idle lower than 1000 rpms. I let her sit for about an hour and then I had to go back out. She started right up but it was idleing really rough. She shot up to 1500 rpm and then crashed (stalled out). I had to crank her a few times to get her started back up but it was idleing alot better. I took her up the road and got on her alittle and she didn't seem to mind. When I got back to the house she was idleing fine - right at 600 to 700 like normal. Everything seems ok - was it just air in the system that caused all the crazy fluctuations in the rpm's? Does air get into the system when it almost runs out of fuel? Can the truck purge itself of any air on it's own by driving it?
As usual thanks for any and all insight!
