Emergency fix
Okay guys problem.
My car was low on gas so I was planning on putting gas in the tank this morning. Well boom, battery was dead. I think I need a new battery. So anyways I was letting the car run for 15 minutes. And fearing my gas was gonna run empty I put some gas from the can in the car. Well the nozzle wouldn't fit all the way in there inside the little gas tank flap so I poured just a little. Turned my car off and turned the ignition back on and now my Fuel Pump Relay is spazzing out.
All this on top of a random dead battery.
Any insight beside the dead battery? Wonder why my relay is now acting weird. After I poured the gas.

Yea, cause whenever I turn the ignition on the Relay spazzes out and I only get 5.6Volts and of course the car won't start. Just making sure I didn't break anything else. Thanks.

I put the jumper cables on it and it sorted itself out. Thanks guys. However the battery is so low that I can only start it if I jump it and the other car mashes the gas.
My GF left the lights on one night a few months back and it drained the battery and I jumped it to let it charge and it never saw the same voltage again. I never got a new battery. So I guess that's why I randomly crapped out last night.
