Fuel Light On...
I learnt today that i can get about 40-45kms extra once the fuel light stays on  
Worst thing was, i rode past 3 or 4 servo's thinking i could make it to my local. And all i wanted was to get home and watch the news

Well the local was another 5 or so minutes up the road... There was a servo about 1 minute ride from where i stopped but it's a long walk while pushing the pig and work gear
I pushed for roughly 1km... but it was getting dark so i was walking in the curb with my right indicator on so people could see me, i tried starting it a few times hoping there was a little bit in there to get me going but no luck.. got to the point where it was like the battery was dying so i stopped, called my folks who brought some fuel out and went to clutch it cos i thought the battery was dead.. failed one the first attempt so i hit the starter and she fired up 
There is 3 servo's between where i stopped and home.. With the fuel i put in i only just made it to the second servo coulda swore i put a fair bit in there
Won't make that mistake twice

Yeup, it's orange. it'll start flashing first, then after about 20 odd k's it'll stay on. You've then got about 20 k's to find a servo  .

My TL has run out only once. I was mid corner cranked over and hard on the power. Scary is not the right word to describe

The definite fuel indicator on my TLS is a dying engine when braking.

I can imagine scary isn't the right word, I'm betting you said a few choice words to yourself tho! |
