If engine shuts off within a few miles after getting gas , it would appear that the gas station has contaminated your fuel tank with water from there storage tanks . and water will not run your car
SOURCE: my chevy uplander 2007 ran out of gas. I have
Since the Uplanders have the long (front to back) skinny gas tank, with the outlet to the rear; if you run out of gas with the front/nose inclined lower than the rear, then it can take upwards of 5 to 8 gallons to get it started again. It was written up in a GM TSB. Two gallons won't start it. When the gage reads less than 1/2, it's not a good idea to park with the front lower than the rear...unless you carry a full 5 gal. refill. Thank you GM engineering.
