Running out of fuel not always simple…
On diesel systems, the empty fuel lines will probably need to be primed before restarting - there is a built-in hand pump for this near the fuel filter.
We all know that running out of fuel is something to be strenuously avoided, but I’m told that this applies even more to diesel than petrol. If this is true, then why?Pip
There is a difference, but it is not a big deal. When a starved petrol engine is refuelled, it will restart quite normally; perhaps a slightly longer engine crank first time while the fuel gets from the tank to the engine.
