    Maybe your fuel gauge also has an issue. My gauge before was acting funny wherein I'd tank up and drive around for a good distance without the needle moving at all then all of a sudden, it drops. It turns out my fuel float was the culprit so in your case, you need to go through a process of elimination to properly detect what may be wrong with your vehicle.

    A. Injector pump issue
    B. Dirty nozzles
    C. Fuel gauge issue
    D. Fuel float issue
    E. Contaminated tank

    When was the last time you had the fluids changed such as the oil? If you drove it out of the dealership and haven't changed anything, chances are, the oil inside is from 2005! (That is, if what the agent says is true.) And since that vehicle was just stuck, the fuel inside the tank would have gone bad. Adding the 2T might have loosened some of the sludge / deposits which might mean that your fuel filter would be blocked. If you ask me, you need a mechanic to do a thorough check on it.

    Speedyfix in San Juan installed a fuel float for me before. They're not the cheapest but they stand by the quality of their work.
