    I was lucky; ran out of 'gas' just off the M1 in north London after driving from Wolverhampton, years ago - and managed to park my Nissan in a street just off Staples Corner car park and walk to a petrol station nearby. If I had run out, say half way between Watford Gap and Watford Town, I'd be done for, having to wait for RAC to come rescue me! Learnt my lesson and carried a 5 ltr. jerry can in the boot for then onwards.

    YES!  Every time I buy a new car I put a two gallon can in the trunk with gas in it and run it out so I can see if the fuel gauge reads right or not!  I do this because I live out in the boondocks and Pines, better to know how well the gauge reads before you fine out the wrong way!

    CALLED ROAD SERVICE or FLAG down some HELP! Get a GAS CAN and fill it with fuel!>> WHen you get it ALL in the tank, turn the key OFF and ON a few times and the FUEL PUMP will prime the system BACK to normal! After about FIVE or s ON/OFF tries, just TURN THE KEY to START and it SHOULS start EASILY! It is NOT like the OLD DAYS of engines with CARBURETORS! >>IT WIL DO NO GOOD at all to PUMP the "AIR" pedal, cuz THAT is what it IS! The PEDAL only adds AIR to the injected FUEL and does NOT pump GAS into anything like a CARB car does! >>>just ADD some gas to the TANK at the station and then DO as I WROTE here! Turn the key OFF and ON only a few times and THEN try to start it! There are TWO fuel lines! One goes to the ENGINE and the OTHER on goes BACK to the tank! There is FILTER and a FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR in between. CNSIDER replacing the FUEL FILTER at some point NOW! It PRIMPS the gas as you drive the car and CLEANS the GAS as you drive it! I once had a CLIENTT with a VW BEETLE and the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT came on! The DEALER checked it and said the TRANS was SHOT and a replacement was about $7,000! When I got it, i I replaced teh FUEL FITLER and the PCV filter and hose and the TRANS RAN FINE again ! BE CAREFUL with

    Yes. Three times. About 10 pm, 20 miles from Three Forks, Montana. I got a tow truck, though I really can't remember how I got it to come. Also in the middle of nowhere in northern Ontario, fortunately in the afternoon and in downtown Toronto very late in the evening. I hitchhiked to a gas station those two times. All these were many years ago, a couple of them long before there were cell phones. I check my gas supply pretty carefully these days.

    I ran out of gas in the desert and had to walk 20 miles to get help. Took 8 hours and I nearly died. I thought I had enough gas to make it but I guess I was wrong.
