You will need to add gas to the car and let it sit for a moment. Then turn the ignition and start the car. You may need to pump gas a time or two to get it started.
I don't have an '85 Cadillac, but with carburated engines the easiest way to start them after runing out of gas is to open your airfilter and pour gas directly into the carburator. I :}
You need to put more gas in it
To start a Saturn after running out of gas, a little ether sprayed in the carburetor might help. Another way to start a vehicle after running out of gas is to pump the gas until it gets enough to start.
1) put gas in it. 2) crank it - it may take a few seconds for the fuel pump to reprime all the lines but it should start back up. If it refuses to start, you may have other problems that are not fuel related.
Running "Rich" Dirty air filter? Carb. Probably needs adjusting
walk to the gas station and buy a gas can
put a little bit on gas in the carb and start it up
put gas in it!
Because, strangely, you need gas to start a car.
Because when your car runs out of gas there is no more gas in the fuel lines to run the motor so when you refuel it then start it there is nothing there to keep it running. The gas have to be pumped out of the tank and into the motor.
You are smelling gas because you have a gas leak somewhere. This can be very dangerous so have this repaired immediately.
go buy some fuel. if it doesnt start check fuel pump.
