Default Help!!! 2007 Tahoe Died

O.K. so my wife fills up the car yesterday at the station and when she starts the car the gas gauge reads empty! So she continues to drive the car quite a bit and then today it just died. So I go to the car with a can of gas and try to start it. Nothing! It sounds like the fuel pump is working so I'm clueless right now! Is there a fuel reset switch on it? Any ideas?

How much fuel did you put in it? I know it may sound like a stupid question. but you're gonna need enough to get to the fuel pickup.

I ran mine DRY!- (shutdown on highway) and it restarted and ran with just under a gallon put into it. so, that may not be the issue.

Does a low fuel warning light come on the dash? If so, how many gallons are left approximately?

Yes, an indicatorlight does come on. I think there's a warning 'ding' as well. If I remember correctly, I put 22 gallons in after the warning light came on, so that would mean there were approximately 4 gallons still in the tank. 4 x 15mpg = 60 or so miles to get to a gas station.
