Default I Ran Out Of Gas :(

Hey ~
Well yesterday, I was driving on E with the light on (been very busy lately) and as I was going up hill, BAM she started shaking violently and power was lost almost immediately after. I rolled to the side of the road, and got some help. Eventually I got some gas into her and then filled her up. My concern is did I hurt my engine or transmission right before she died? She runs just fine, noting wrong !??!?
Thanks,
Paul

You might want to pour a bottle of fuel injector cleaner (eg, Caltex Techron) into your tank. The fuel injectors might have picked up some of the crud that sits on the bottom of your fuel tank.
