What my Ex has taught me...
Scenario: Lastnight decided to go on a 200 mile drive to pick up a 1995 toyota 4runner on a trailer for someone.
On the trip back home, the fuel light comes on and that is when the lesson began..
1- While driving in the moutains once the fuel light comes on immediately find a station..lol Yes ran out once the remaining fuel was at the back of the tank..
2- It takes 5 gallons of diesel to even start a damn near dry tank
3- A toyota 4runner can not pull an Ex with trailer up a hill by far the funniest thing I have attempted thus far in 2010.
4- for an F250 dually owner to say "I am not comfortable pulling your Excursion 1/4 of a mile because I do not want damage my truck" was purely pitiful..
After it was all said and done the remaining drive home was full of laughs!!

Changing fuel pumps out is such a PITA that I never let the low fuel light come on. Running out of fuel with an electric pump is not a good thing.

Maybe it's a diesel thing cause my V10 will go about 50 miles after the low fuel warning light comes on.

have too gone many miles once fuel lite comes on and by my memory,
never took over 40 gallons to fill it up, so at least 5 or more gallons left....
but good point about mountain towing.... us flat landers never would have thought about that !
so the solution was to coast back down the mountain to the flat valley and not go up any hills to find a fuel station
right ?!?!?! lol

I never let mine get that far down. I feel like I need to take out a second mortgage to fill it back up. Here where I get gas in NC, the pump stops at $75. It pisses me off to have to cycle my card again to finish fillin her up!! Lol
