The guy had a brand new BMW which made me laugh even more.

You can afford a $100,000.00 CAR BUT CANT AFFORD PETROL :p :p :p

Ran out just before a petrol station once.......had enough momentum to just coast right up to the pump.....that was some lucky sh*t right there.

That was back when I was a uni student and had little money to run my car :(

Actually, I've run on fumes before. The car refused to go up a hill, so I had to go the other way to the gas station. I just got going as fast as I could on the fumes (about 120 kph, in a 50 zone :)), clutched in, and coasted about a km to the gas station and filled up :lol2:

Only once in my old Mazda. We thought we had enough to fill it up after our trip out. Turns out we didn’t! :hehehe: :p

Even worse: Anyone ever filled up, then went in to pay and had no money? :lol2: I did that once, had to call my mom to come give me some money :D

Never happened in my car, but once when I was off the mill property in a work truck (it was all legal, I had to go to the airport to get some flown-in parts.)

To make it short, my company truck was in for service, and no one mentioned to me that the one I was using had a busted gauge. I got about 10mi on the highway, then the truck just died. I had my radio with me and called a guy from the mill garage, and he came out with a 5gal can.

I was baffled at first as I thought the truck had broke down. Never even thought that the gauge might be broke.

if thats bad what about putting diesel in your petrol car....:)

ex colleague of mine at work....goes to station...fills up.....and then he realises he's just filled up with diesel.....fortunatley for him as he didn't start the car.. we emptied his tank with a pump from work, and he got away without any damage......... :silly2: :silly2: :silly2:

nope very happened to me before but its happened to alot of my friends when i'm in the car and we have to walk to a pertol station

I once filled my petrol car up with diesel. Luckily for me too I realised before starting the car and the assistant at the petrol station drained my tank for me. I was so embarrassed I never went back to that particular petrol station! :p

Iv run out of gas in the triumph when the fuel guage wasnt working, bloody embrassing when your wearing your Shell uniform on your way home from work, and you have to hitch a lift. :bloated: :bloated: :bloated:


The lynx used to run out a few times as well, the tank was only big enough to hold just enough gas to get me home and to work again, provided I drove it gently one way. If I really really threashed it, it would use a whole tank just getting home so if the local gas station didnt have any fuel then it was a pretty close thing as to whether I got to work or not.

NEVER!!

I would never do that to my poor injectors.

I have never had that happen but have woke up to a flat tyre a couple of times.

A quick note for turbo Skyline owners. If you run out of gas while giving your car shit kiss your motor good by! It will lean out and burn the #6 piston if your lucky!

Shall I 'fess up again as well?...O.K.

I have put petrol into my diesel heap before.........but I have never run out of petrol.Unlike my sister.................she bought a second hand car and it stopped 5 minutes out from the yard.She walked back to the dealership and flamed them but good:p :p :p
Was she ever embarassed when the mechanic explained the problem!!!!!

What are we going to do about you FTO girl ????:bloated: :bloated:

Nope, never happened to me. I like to fill up when it drops below 1/8th of a tank.

always fill up after 3/4 used. That way it doesn't cost as much:)

I never let my car get under 1/4 empty
