#1 I have 4 gallons left in the tank when the light comes on. It will take 32 gallons of diesel to fill it up. It currently has a full tank and is on a trickle charger, parked.
1 My best was rolling up to an intersection just as the light turned green and about half way through the engine died and there was a station right across on the corner and I coasted right up to the pump. I was actually going to a station a couple miles down the road. Daryl
#1 - If you don't know how many miles you can get from a tank of gas, you should. #2 - awesome. #5 - that fish isn't sucking his soul out through his wallet... #7 - for the win...I love that one. #12 - i'm absolutely no good at this. #20 - ha...
Unless it’s absolutely a have to case, don’t run your tanks empty like that. The fuel pump cavitation wears down those interior pumps and then your stuck with a hefty repair bill.
I paid 800 bucks to have a fuel pump replaced in my F-150. And no, I didn't run the tank dry, it just wore out after 20 years. Remember the days when they mounted on the engine and you could replace them yourself for 25 bucks and a half hour of your time?
Amen to that! I had to replace the fuel pump in a 2002 Hyundai Accent about a year ago. At least it was accessible from the top by removing the rear seat and was under $100 dollars for the pump. It took my and another person about an hour to do the complete job including the seat. He had to do the stuff I couldn't do because of my messed up shoulders since I had just had one of them replaced. I supervised those parts.
#1 Many years ago I owned a honda civic and was returning home from a trip. The light came on and I decided I could make it home. Well, home was a lot further than I realized. Near home and although the car was till running I coasted down a hill into the gas station. The stress wasn't worth it and never again did I do that. Anyway, the fuel pump is lubricated by the fuel and doing that will cost you a fuel pump. -sammy
I almost lost a meaningless job one time. I called a girl that worked there a cunt,, needless to say I spent an hour in the office. They asked why ? I didn't lie , I said because she's running two men at one time and playing the one for money. I call it as I see it. They kind of smiled and said don't do it again. Didn't lose my job and really didn't care. Maybe whore was the "proper" pronoun🤷♀️
