List of things that can leave you stranded

[rpcc]

So my fuel pumps quit and left me stranded. Had to call AAA for a tow - first time I've ever towed a car.  Only bright side - it was a beautiful day and not too far from home.

 

 

What do I need to replace now to make sure this doesn't happen again.  The car is a 2004s with 80k on it.

I carry a few basic relays, a foam tyre inflater and an air pump.

I don't think that you can every prep enough for every thing that can strand you.  Alternators can fail and you've got about 20 minutes to get someplace.  Starters at a rest stop.  etc...

 

Knowledge is probably the best thing to have.  

 

I'm told that if you pull the fuse of the failed fuel pump the other fuel pump will save the day.

Hope you all got the towing option for the trailer you will need...  I just use my insurance card and have 'em tow it home  ;)
