To they guys who let their tanks run dry, have you considered changing your fuel filter after such an episode as it's now likely to be contaminated with debris from the tank.

I had the same situation last year, on a suburban road in the middle of France. abput 2 am in the morning with no one with me, 0 Miles on the display and no petrol stations in sight and looking like there was not gonna be any for a good few miles. I did about 15 miles and all of a sudden a green BP light appeared in the middle of nowhere, Thank God! Someone was lucking down on me that day  :happy2:
