I hope the fix is easy and quick plus paonless on your wallet
I never take off ramps at 60
or whatever speed squels the tires
Always making sure the rear is planted
to never slide it out in turns
Completely confident in
you get what you pay for
I know everything
is going to be perfect
Cute poem aye. Anyway always, never and completely are best to not be used so that poem is BS. To error on the safe side is a good. Which keeping the fuel level up is a good for keeping condensation out of the tank also. I got tired of loosing fuel pumps so my tanks going to have plenty of fuel from now on.
Wow, I've always waited for the fuel light to come on before refueling and this is with all of the cars I've owned - Nissans, BMWs, and Porsche. Heck, this is what everybody I know does.
I think some of you guys give Porsche less credit than they deserve. These aren't faberge eggs. It's one thing to want the best for your Porsche, but it's another to overthink and over do it when it's not necessary. Meaning, refueling when the light comes on is a normal condition so the fuel pump should be engineered to handle that situation with a high MTBF.
If I refueled at every 1/2 tank, then I would be refueling every other day.

I'm having the same problem. Porsche Dealer couldn't reproduce. Ran fine yesterday after I picked it up from dealer. Filled tank at gas station. Started right up this morning. Went to son's soccer game and car will not fire up again. Called indy instead and he thinks its a bad crank sensor. I'm not so sure. It was towed to dealer on Wednesday and perhaps the bumpy ride loosened back the fuel pick up lines and therefore, it started right up for them. They ran it all day and nothing went wrong. The TSB on this thread sounds more correct than a bad crank sensor. Going to add another gallon of gas and see if that loosens the lines or pickup stuff inside tank, and hopefully fires up. If not, then, back on AAA flat bed. Any ideas? Crank sensor, or above TSB on "running out of fuel" symptoms?
