Well I can finally say that I have run out of diesel.
I had done 440 miles the reserve light had only come on 10 miles ago and I had 2 miles to go to pick up the wife and fill up with diesel when I put my foot down after rounding the traffic circle and nothing....
All I can say is I have never been so embarrassed as to having to mount the curb and come to a stop in my big new cruiser. Luckily the petrol station and wife where only a short walk away so I called her up said buy a jerry can of diesel and get walking. I met her half way and carried the shopping and diesel back to the car where I poured it in primed her and off we went to fill up.
Is it just me or does 10 maybe 15 miles from a reserve tank seem right and could my gauge need altering if possible?
