AFTER COMPLETELY FUELING THE TANK, THE CAR RUNS FOR ABOUT 2 TO 3 MILES AND THEN BECOMES TO SAY THAT THAT FUELING TANK IS EMPTY. ITS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. WE'VE TRIED CHANGING THE FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL CAP, BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO SHOW THAT THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS, THE CAR WILL START GOING SLOW AND STOP BY ITS SELF AFTER SHOWING THAT THERE IS NOW GASOLINE. AFTERWARDS, IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT STARTS TO RUN NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS.
