Down on the left!
When I realised I looked down and saw 1km left in the tank.
GPS tells me I’m 4.5km away from the nearest servo with LPG.
can’t just rock up to a servo with a jerry can and grab gas!
So anyway I made it into the servo at a very sedate pace praying to Dog that the gauge was out.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
It’s pretty embarrasing calling a tow truck cause you ran outta gas.
I’ve had my BT-50 on 0k’s for 5ks findin a servo too. Not as bad being a diesel though.

Can definitely be worse with a diesel! The fuel is the cooling and lubricating part of the injection system, running that sucker to empty can on occasion cause pump seals to dry and cost you a pretty penny.

Finally! Something with fire.

That little cock sucker of a nut that holds the cassette in place. Got it a bit skewif and munted the start of the thread. The kids then bowled a basketball into the shed, knocked the wheel, and the new cassette went everywhere. I lost my shit.
Got the cassette back together but thought I’d try and salvage that nut. Screwed the fucker into the wheel to its full depth. Then realised I have no cassette in place to give me purchase to get the fucker off again.
Stilsen saved the day, just.

Merrick and Rosso were on Triple J afternoons somewhere around the turn of the century.
They had a segment, "hello australia" for fuckwit confessions
One dude burnt the house down trying to wash his dirty work cloths in the washing machine with petrol.
Best fire story I've ever heard.

I've driven 45ks on 0kms in an FG (I think?) falcon ute. Lots of easy acceleration and coasting in angle gear.
You'd be surprised how much is still in the tank when the computer tells you you're not going to make it.

Or not if you drive a VT Commodore. I've had to roll into a servo in neutral with the range saying 28km.
Those things burnt out fuel pumps when they ran out of fuel, except this one burnt out the electrical connector. Two trips home on a flat top, the tank out twice in the driveway and a visit to the auto-sparky to find that one.

The Astra I'm currently punting around is like that. Ran out of juice with the computer telling me I still had 15km. I was 1km from home, and the servo was 1km the other way, so not too bad.

Yeah when I was a stoner pot head, Wait! I'm still a pot head! I had an old XG panel van (i think) that I used to what seemed regularly roll into servos on 0 ks. Usually the day before payday!
Yes you are right there is usually more in the tank than it shows but running out of LPG gas and getting towed to the servo is not something I want to do now I'm a respectable middle aged pot head.

Reminds me of a mate who had an old Holden panelvan back in the day and it got stuck in reverse. So he used to drive around town in reverse, including into servos. He did shift work, so he got away with doing it for the good part of a year. He is a pot head but not a respectable one.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes

It will, unless you are a stoner, then its all good. Don't let your daughter be a stoner cause it will all come to tears

This sounds like the pot head from the town I grew up in. He drove around without a windscreen for a few weeks...I think the motivation to change was the inability to run a good Dutch oven rather than the cops issuing a defect.
