Running your tank so low allows the garbage in your tank to be sucked up into your fuel filter and your carburetor.

Hopefully the fuel filter will stop it from going into the carburetor typically the fuel filter is what gets clogged and prevents the engine from running. The gasoline also helps cool the electric pump enclosed in the gas tank

Epic indeed! Such a great video!!!

The irony of being in the middle of nowhere and everything is peachy, then heading back to civilisation and trouble starts 😆

"Be excellent to each other.". I like that. God bless you & Frank.

Frank's last look is just so adorable. Glad you guys are safe and you had an alternative plan and supplies.

A good rule of thumb Here's to never let it get under a quarter of a tank. If your engine is fuel injected your pump get cooled by the fuel. You can actually burn your pump up if you let it run very low. Do always tell yourself at quarter tank is empty

I learned that if there any particulates in your gas tank they settle on the bottom which can get sucked up into the fuel filter, carburetor or injectors and the car will just die. As soon as the particulates flow back or settle, the car will start. So glad you made it out safe! 🥰Frank

That is a pretty cute pic of Frank! So happy that you made it to the ferry okay! So thankful too that the grizzly bear took off into the bush! ❤

The ending w Mr.Frank is so adorable-especially his Tongue Out!

Amanda, I really enjoy watching your videos. I look forward to them and Frank. Lol since you ran out of gas you might consider changing your gas filter. Who knows how much debris might have been in your tank that is now sucked into the filter. That could clog it and starve the engine and leave you stranded. Good luck and stay safe!!

Yes I agree changing the gas filter would be smart thing to do also .

I was screaming at the video “please don’t cut off where that bear is!!!” I was way too on edge watching this video today 😂😂😂

Glad everything turned out okay. I had a similar problem with an eighty two chevy van years ago and it turned out to be in my situation that the wires that went to the distributor had rubbed on the engine and when I would go down hill and slow down, they would touch the engine and kill it. Anyway, enjoy your visit with your friend. And we're looking for forward to more content soon

You are incredibly inspiring! Definitely one of the very best KZreadrs! I’m 50, and throughout my life I’ve always felt like I wasn’t living the actual story written for me. Then one day, about 2yrs ago, I came across the first “Vanlife” video. From that moment on I was captivated! My brain cried out, “THIS IS IT”!!! And although I haven’t made much progress, I’m still completely sure that this is what I am going to do. Thank you for the inspiration. Keep on keeping on. Be safe out there, and tell Frankie hello for me. 😃

Wow what an intense time you had. I'm glad you always have a plan b. All the best to everyone.

Enjoyed this update - though there were some edge-of-the-seat-moments. Love the closing with Frank!

Girl, you have a Guardian!

I’m glad you made it back safely & I love the way frank looks at you he loves his mum

I had an old ford pickup that did the same thing - ended up being a loose wire into the coil. Would be driving down the road and all of a sudden she was like NOPE gonna stop right NOW! LOL Perhaps a loose battery terminal connection??

We love you Amanda n Frank. So glad you shared that whole harrowing experience with us.......the shut downs,lack of gas n Diesel n the Grisly!! WoW,never a full moment in your life! Hugs for you n Frank

Great video with exciting new content. Oh, I keep forgetting to say that I am enjoying the LMNT citrus and watermelon flavors. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and creativity. 💜👍

Whew! So happy you made it to the ferry and were able to get gas. I knew you were okay because you made the video but the grizzly bear on the road was a nail biter for me! Safe travels ❤️😊. Frank looked sooooo cute all bundled up!

A lot of vehicles have a 2 gal reserve that does not register on your gauges. You might get your fuel filter checked because it might be pretty nasty after sucking your tank dry.

Glad you and Frank are safe. I had RV battery problem last week and I was 45 minutes from home. 😊 Can't imagine having problem where you were. Thank for sharing the adorable pictures of Frank.

Now that's got to be the most suspenseful episode...phew through you were prepared for all seeing the grizzly in the road staring at you like "come on" kinda shifted things to well ya can't prepare for everything you need a guardian angel. We sure are glad it all worked out.

As always Frank is adorable… Amanda you handled the situation very well.I would have freaked seeing that grizzly bear! Yikes…Take care safe travels to you and Frank😊

I am so glad I got the chance to sit in on your premier today. So many nice people loving on Frank and yourself. A supportive and engaged group surrounds you. I hope you had a fun time. Though I never asked about this issue I did wonder what it would be like to be dependent on an engine while deployed so deeply in the B-Country. Nice problem solving! Another idea for emergency gear: a small tube for siphoning gas from a willing friend.

The angle of the van; uphill or downhill changes the position of the fuel inside the tank. The intake hose is usually in the front of the tank.

Your guardian angels were with you!

You were running on fumes sounds like ,whew im glad it got you to safety.. to me older vehicles really hold well..they dont make things like they used to..all good.. onward bound ..you and Frank take it easy..😊❤

You've had a few stressful days. Luckily the grizzly didn't feel like hanging around. Relieved when you made it to the ferry. Sounds like you have a few errands to do before hitting the road again. Happy you 2 made it safely to the next town. Take care and be safe.

Not only are you adventurous, And Beautiful but you're a pretty smart woman too. Stay safe and know that you are Loved!

The grizzly freaked me out, but I remembered you made it safely to civilization because you uploaded a video. Phew! Beautiful photography and thanks for taking us along on your journey. ❤

On top of admiring how you handled the wild situation you were in, so many cool tips got posted in the comments, that I appreciate for my own vehicle! Girl!! That bear situation....crazy!

Truck came through for you 🎉 so glad you made it safely to the town.

i would not want to leave either😃

I leave your videos playing one after the other. I like hearing your voice as I bop around my house doing chores.

OMG! FRANK!! You bring a smile to my face everytime LoL!! Loved the grizzly sighting also! Safe travels & Cheers! ~M

1)When is the last time you did tune up.ie:spark plugs,air filter. If the gap gets to wide it can stall it happens to my GMC Van2) I suggest trying not to run your gas tank to below 1/8 tank can pick up dirt from tank clog filters. One in gas tank and one in the gas line also.

Oh wow that would have really rattled my nerves. Happy Thanksgiving this weekend, I hope you find a sweet treat to celebrate.😊

Be safe Amanda and Frank. Worried for you guys. ❤❤❤

If your van continues to stall after fueling it up, the most likely cause would be a clogged fuel filter. Hope all goes well! I'm am Canadian.

It's laughable & NOT so laughable. Your video is entertaining. The grizzly in the road made it so real. Thanks from one full-timer to another.

Whew, sketchy running out of gas where grizzlies are active. You had a heckuva trip. Don't forget to change your fuel filter.🤗🐻

My battery died on me right after I got off the Dempster. Really wanted to wait until I got to Whitehorse to get a new one, but decided it was best to just buy one in Dawson City. Also learned on the Dempster how important the gas can is. Got to Eagle Plains right after they closed. Didn't want to wait 15+ hours for them to open so hand to hope I had enough gas to get to the end of the road (van said I was about 100km on the safe side). Ended up being fine, but from now on I will carry extra gas in the north. I have one of those combo jumper batteries / air compressor, which I used when I got a flat and to jump the van after the battery started dying. You can never be overprepared in the north. Glad you made it out.

Make sure you check your battery connections. I had that happen to me about 20 years ago and it ended up being loose cable connections. Hit a bump turns off/on etc.

Wow, never a dull moment, eh? 😮😊 I agree with you about getting a jumpstarter power pack. They're great! I use mine all the time as my car won't start if it goes more than 48 hours without being driven. I looked up the book you're reading, and by golly, it's right up my alley, so I ordered the first one in the series (The Wild Places) on Audible since my eyes aren't very good anymore. From an older, disabled person, thank you for bringing us along to vicariously adventure with you. ❤❤❤

You are amazing! And your faith in yourself has pulled you through. Great job Amanda and and Frank ❤

Golly what a trip this was. You remained much calmer than I could have been. Stay safe NO BEARS. Yikes.

As always young lady we ( my daughter and I ) enjoy your videos ! Be safe we love you and Frank !

Hi Amanda. I love watching your videos and hope you and Frank are doing well. Since you are from Canada which gets cold before some of us here in the US, I hope that this adventure of running out of fuel and power is going to be a real learning lesson and process for your future to be better prepared in the future. I lived in a van for a year and a half and luckily I never dealt with those issues, but I prepared for it knowing that I was going to be in negative digit temperatures. You are one heck of a woman and I admire you for your strength and I have learned some things from watching your videos. I just want you and Frank to be safe and therefore you not be stressed out as well. Be safe and enjoy the van life. I will be getting back into vanlife in the future as well. Take care

Ordered lmnt. I have a horrible time staying hydrated. I never really feel thirsty. Hopefully it help. Love to Frank from my sweet Poppy.

You are amazing Amanda, this has been the most beautiful adventure. So glad you made it to the ferry. I am so proud of you 💯 Much love 💜🐾

Wow you really had my heart pumping. I was on edge and excited when you were able to continue. But goodness, so relieved you made it safe.

Clean the battery terminals. Check your grounds. Damp weather can cause bad connections. Think about purchasing a jump box for emergencies.

Thanks 4 sharing LMNT w/us. My fav is mango/chili.

I'm so glad that I found your channel. I've been watching at least one video every day since and oh my- this one was intense! I'm glad all was well in the end. I too am happier the farther I am away from civilisation, generally, and feel the tug of a life such as yours more and more. I've been watching various videos and learning and have even begun to downsize. I'm a camper and a hiker and I don't intend to retire into an old fuddy duddy! I know my dog would be cool with life like that, but my cat maybe not so much. Who knows, though- she's a tortie! Cheers, and thanks so much for the great content.

Wow! What an adventure! So happy you came out on the other side well and unscathed. You’re a tough cookie ❤️❤️

Frank’s lil blep at the end!!! You’re so resourceful Amanda. You take great care of truck and pup and yourself. Thanks for sharing the adventure ❤

So sorry your van kept dying out on you. That shot of the big grizzly bear was scary but really amazing. I'm from California, but I live in Italy now. When our family would go camping in California I have seen brown bears, but never a big grizzly like that. I love your videos your adventures are so beautiful. Hugs to Frank. I have a Rottweiler her name is Mina and she's a wonderful dog and we take lots of hikes here in Tuscany. Big big hugs from Italy 👍❤️🦊🐻🦡🐶

Godspeed!!! 👩 I hope everything gets resolves smoothly.

Have been enjoying your videos, keep up the good work and safe travels! Not the best to routinely run your van so low on fuel not only for the risk of running out of fuel but also it puts a lot more stress on the van's fuel pump likely shortening the life span of the pump. Although if if you did get a new fuel pump there is a good chance it could fix your fuel gauge issue.

I sure want you two to be OK! Much love and respect, mar🌙 So glad you are warm and safe. 💙

I think you got some guardian angels watchin' over you.. whether you believe it or not!!

Frank stuck his tongue out @ the camera , how cute , stay safe ☃️

Awesome adventure ❤

I trusted you had a plan. I just bought lithium jump starter with air compressor, good peace of mind.

Take care Amanda!!!

I absolutely love watching you and frank !

Your van must have been running on fumes. When your tank gets that low, it c a n get into sediment in the tank. That may be what's happened. Enjoy your visit with your friend. Frank is cute!!

omg grizzly bears are huge 😮 Australia has nothing as scary as that ! 😆 Just want to mention You can make a tiny 'oven' using a tin billy on its side. Allows you to bake over a fuel stove. Can make biscuits, a muffin or a quiche etc. Just need a little cake tin or foil tray that fits in it and rotate the bucket at intervals to put the hot side on the top. (I hope that makes sense 😆) Firebox stove sells a kit but you can piece one together in the smallest size Billy to make a dessert for one 😊. So glad you made it back , your preparations were spot on !

Frank @ 3:05…adorable.

Great video. What a great role model you are: no power, no diesel, no gas, no food and now there’s a grizzly bear!!….but NO PANIC either! Just a calm, level-headed problem-solving to get yourself out of it.

My last vehicle used to randomly shut off while driving and I’d lose the brakes also and it was terrifying driving in town when that happened. Idk if it’s better or worse that you experienced that in the wilderness with a bear and not in a town with a bunch of traffic. Both options are pretty dangerous.

Hello Amanda and Frank❤😊

So something you should look into is buying yourself an extra fuel pump.... The more times you run out of gas the more likely it is your fuel pump will head south..... It's not a big job as long as your tank is empty or close to it.... Being out in the boonies with a burned-up fuel pump is no fun...... Another thing I carry around with me is a spare fuel filter.... Sometimes you can get a tank of bad gas clog your filter and there you are..... Glad you made it back safe and sound I was just about to load up in my van and come look for you LOL.... What is that about three thousand miles from Arizona.... Stay warm safe travels

OMG you are so capable! This episode really proved that.

Amazing indeed! You were fueled by good energy. And air. lol

Congrats on 200 summits. What an accomplishment. Positive comments should be the only ones that you recieve. ❤

We also had that same issue while driving our truck,with a camper.....the truck would shut off...over bumps,we ended up turning around,and the next day,I checked the ignition wire that goes into the side of the distributor cap,...the clip was broken,and the wire would come loose..causing the truck to shut off...

Well done on keeping a cool head Amanda in the face of adversity...I'm not sure I would have TBH :-)

You got it sorted. Well done.❤️🙏

You're truly a Jill of All Trades!! Most people let alone women could do what you do!! Always have a plan and you did and that helps out. Take Care and Stay Safe.

Frank&Amanda forever friends love you guyz!❣️ thank you for sharing ✌️🙏🤟
