I managed it in a VW Beetle with a flat battery & my Flatmates and their shopping in the back once....
The AA guy was a very nice man & didn't point & laugh at all.... |

I have only run out of petrol once and that was an experiement to see how far the bike would actually go. Never run out of petrol in a car.
However, Verna has run out of petrol once! |

yes it is.
Try dealing with some of the posh muppets whos cars I've worked on, that has been quite amusing at times. Like the girl who was too busy to buy oil, and the engine went bang at the end of my yard ![]()

I think I should know better really. I'm not a complete thicko. I must admit that I am pretty clueless about cars but that's due to laziness and never having to service them or fix them myself.

OK well theres usually a little flap thing at the back, and on some cars you put your key in and theres a cap you can unscrew, http://www.envirogas.co.uk/img/images/capfull.jpg its sort of the "done thing" to go to a thing called a "petrol station," which can usually be identified by a big lit up board outside with things writted on it like "unleaded" and "diesel." https://www.cs.tcd.ie/Kenneth.Dawson...ts/Garage1.JPG When you find these things you can unscrew the little cap thing and put some fuel in there, I'm sure the people at the petrol station will be willing to help if you struggle with that ![]() (yes, I am very bored)
