RE: [alfa] GTV6 Running out of gas - maybe

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Granted, I'm more intoxicated than I usually am at 10PM on Tuesday, 
but I'm pretty sure that the GTV-6 has only one fuel pump (external), 
and that the fuel lines (feed and return) come out the bottom of the 
tank, under the car.
