Engine problem

This morning I left to work with my car. After less than a mile my engine has stooped. The truth is that my gasoline indicator is showing me that is empty but my problem is that when I tried to start the car is starting and is dieing immediately. Now I am to work and tonight I will put some gasoline but the question is:If I have no fuel why for all that my engine starts even for 2-5 seconds? I really need an advice because tomorrow I want to go in vacation. THANK YOU.:banghead:

 

P.S.

If I take off cap from the air filter and with engine stopped I accelerate, I'll be able to see in my carb if gasoline is coming.............?

the engine might be able to suck in enough gas fumes to run for a few seconds. i think if your tank was that empty, the car wouldnt be able to draw fuel in liquid form, and would only be running off of the fumes coming from the small puddle of gasoline at the bottom of the tank.
