Every time my truck has run out of gas (gauges don't work) the engine will no longer turn over. The electrical system acts completely dead. As soon as I add gas (as little as one half gallon), the electrical comes back to life and the truck starts easily. I have been working on cars for over forty years and half never seen anything this weird. Any ideas? Thanks
