Well guys, currently sat just off the A500 shelton turn off (18:37pm). The lil 9'rs contrary to belief do not run on fumes lol. Stupidhead of a dodgy fuel gauge has left me void of petrol n fumes! Luckily awaiting a man who can! So give us a toot n a wave if ya passing lol.

Totally! But I must have a sticky thingy somewhere. As it sometimes likes to come on when ive got a full tank! It kinda does what it wants now n again. Very much the russian roulette of fuel gauges lol. 1st time has caught me out though dude.

No sympathy. Only a complete loser and moron runs out of fuel.....and to prove it, I ran out 3 times in me old Uno 60DS. The main problem there though is that at the time diesel fuel pumps weren't self venting so you usually needed someone to do that for you, like a mechanic. I got away with it until the 3rd time cos it cost me several hundred pounds to have the pump rebuilt. That was about half the cost of a new one.

I've only ever run out of petrol once in my sei. Very close on a couple of occasions but thank god the sat nav was nice enough to find a close by station in unfamlier territory .

This punto seems to go for miles on vapour, love averaging 50mpg in this too. Shame I need rid of it though (need the money to start fixing chalky up again).

Thanks

Never ran out in the Sei, but ran out once in the 126 - at the traffic lights literally 15 yards from the petrol station!

I wish mine did lol. Am lucky ifs I get 35 to a gallon! But could be way I drive I guess. 1st time have ever run out. Was reading quarter of tank, went over pothole n needle jumped to redline coughed n started dying. Managed to get it off A500 by riding it on starter motor. Not good I know, but rather a burnt out starter than squashed by hgv lol.

Helped a bloke push his Focus the other night after he ran out of petrol in a queue of traffic. He told me he felt a right spanner because the fuel light had been on for over 40 miles.

The push turned into a bit of a fiasco because I had the dog with me who kept trying to run faster than her gasping, panting owner who was on the verge of a massive myocardial infarction. So I was putting 100% effort into pushing the car but she was also putting 100% of her effort into running at 90 degrees to me because a particularly yappy Scottie dog was giving it some rice from the pavement.

The Focus got a final push as the driver jumped in to steer it into the kerb at the same time as yours truly plunged headlong over said dog who'd decided to make one more determined lunge towards the Scottie.

The driver said he was embarrassed at running out of gas in the middle of a queue of traffic. Not half as embarrassed as I was though.
