    Not yet but I guess it could happen to the best of them.... Even top Formula 1 teams run out of gas during a race which is really quite embarassing. Remember when Barichellos Ferrari stopped when he was leading the Brazilian Grand prix ? He ran out of gas but the team called it a "Fuel pressure feed problem"

    Kahit naman umilaw yung fuel indicator safe pa yun, the tank still has 5 or more liters of fuel left in its reserves.

    YES!!! para maiba naman
    the first time hiniram ko yung Honer Jeep namin eh sira yung fuel gauge, di ko alam kung may laman, so sabi ko punta ako sa gas station, half way pa lang ubos na........pinahila ko na lang

    2nd time naman recently lang din, gamit ko naman yunghatchback
    so nasa empty na punta kami sa gas station ni misis hinihintay ko mag light ang fuel warning light, pero alas hindi pala gumagana, ayun hinto kami sa gitna ng O-G road buti na lang may passenger dun, binayaran ko yung isang biyeha niya 40 pesos yata bili ako ng gas then bled it in the car. then nag pa full tank na kami.

    Yup!

    Sa 323 ko, hindi gumana yung low fuel indicator and talagang nag drop na yung needle... hehehe... kaya nagtataka ako at medyo kumakadyot na...

    Sa Rav4, kaninang umaga nag warning light na! Hehehe... medyo nacompute ko pa naman... kasi gusto ko sa Petron mag gas...

    most of the time, man! since college pa... bigla na lang magde-decelerate yung kotse then i'll know na i ran out of fuel na pala...

    i'm always on the go kasi, :car: it's like i've no time for dropping by a gas station...

    i just ask for SOS from the passers... good thing they were generous enough to give me a hand...

    delekado ang paggamit ng fuel na sa bandang ilalim na ng tank kasi dirty fuel na ito... kelangan mas madalas ka magpalit ng fuel filter kung ganito yung routine mo IMO

    safe na safe ka pa naman kapag unang umilaw yung low-fuel warning indicator...

    sa gen2 CR-V, the warning lights up at 41.1 L (below the last line before E na yung gauge)... full capacity of the tank is 58 L.
