Your right to think about gas but the fuel pumps fail all kinds of crazy ways. The easy way to cheack to see if its the pump is to listen to the tank ( with your ear right against it ) and turn the key on to here the pump come on. If you don't hear anything and the hearing it'self is OK then with someone trying to start the car bang on the tank to shake it and see if the pump will come back on (sometimes they quit altogether and this won't work) The vehical may start right up. If it does the pump is still bad even thogh its running and may not restart as early as the next ry or even quit while running as it already did to you. Rember evven though the gauge says theres gas there may not be be as someone could have stole it and the gauge got bent during the theif. Do'nt look in with a lit match just cause you saw it on TV. Shake the car with a funnell in the fuel cap and listen for gas slushing around. Nothing or slight your out. Listen for the pump this way as it'll really hum in the funnell even full of gas
