This is merely anecdotal: Years ago, the older brother of a friend of mine
was confronted with the same problem.  He claimed his solution to his
predicament was to run the car as low on fuel as he dare, then dump a bunch
of dry gas into the tank before taking it in to be tested again.

But, as Dick Nixon once said," Of course, that would be wrong."
