And the moral of this story is...........

Merrily driving along tonight about 2 miles from home, car starts missing and just dies. Not of course on a nice quiet side road, but part way round one of the busiest main road roundabouts in the area.
Ran out of petrol, fuel gauge shows 1/4 of a tank.
So the moral of this story is:

Check your fuel gauge reads empty before the fuel runs out!

Duuuhhhh!!

Another little teething trouble to sort out at the weekend.

Unlucky m8 :-(

Those rounds by you are pretty busy - I brace them Mondays and Fridays to and from Peterborough to Leamington Spa - can't be fun :-(

More my luck than judgement, but when my gauge says '0' it really means 'Empty!'. When the needle's down on the stops I'm running on vapour...

What's a fuel gauge?

When my trip meter says 120 I start looking for petrol.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
