Subject:Helpful item to keep in van

For those of you that don't already do this, I would recommend keeping an
assortment of different size hose clamps in your van just in case.  Last
Friday my van started hesitating on the highway and I saw that the gas level
was suddenly on empty.  I ran out of gas at the top of an exit ramp trying
to get to the nearest gas station.  It turns out that a fuel line had worked
itself loose from the crimp-on hose clamp and the van spewed all of the gas
out of the tank.  I found that the small 50 cent screw-on hose clamp that I
had in the van just in case came in real handy here and it put me back on
the road again.
