After being caught trusting my fuel guage not once, but TWICE, this
newbie has learnt from this lesson. From now on a fast ticking fuel
pump means that it is sucking air which means MORE FUEL NEEDED, PLEASE!
At least I get the chance to make sure I am not caught re-building the
engine needlessly because I hadn't checked the possibility of an
"out-of-fuel" situation... if it does need something more drastic, hey,
what have I wasted but a few minutes checking the tank.
These days I refuel every 100 miles on the odometer after an initial
full tank (giving me a fair margin for error - and for distance to the
next garage if I haven't been paying attention). This also gives me a
cheap refuel every now and then, but better safe than "stuck"!
