CLK55 broke down..

Well this morning, my car started to loose power - followed by the check engine light coming on. Gas gauge did show low, but computer said I had 15 miles to go.

The car then died and would not restart. I called roadside, they felt I may have run out of gas. I added a gallon, drove home. Engine was still rough and check light on.

What do you folks think is happening? Should I just fill it up and drive or take it in?

Thanks,

Alex

after few fill up the problem should be gone, but if you are worry take it in and have them check and fill some gas for you. there might be air in the tank.

advice..

dont ever allow your tank to go anywhere close to being empty. Always keep your tank 1/4 full... ALWAYS!!!!

You might need to get the fuel filter changed after getting to fumes. I'd bring it in if it continues to run abnormally.
