What happens if you run out of gas while driving?

Why won’t my car start after I put gas in it?
Most of the time, if your car suddenly will crank and not start after fueling, it is because of a failed fuel pump. The fuel pump in the fuel tank is kept cool with the fuel in the tank. If the fuel was very low, then the pump would get too hot and then when you add cool fuel into the tank that causes the pump to fail.

What happens when you mix gasoline with oil?
Gasoline is not a lubricant; period. Diluted motor oil can scrub off crank bearings, cam bearings, cam lobes, and so on; and it will not affect the running until things go way south which may be soon or not so soon. The only way of knowing is to tear into it although an oil pressure test could be performed.
