    college days. driving a very used 1978 Ford Escort.

    3 times in fact.

    one at mandaluyong, buti na lang side street. nagdyip to the nearest gas station, petron near City Hall.

    one at guadalupe sa ilalim going to JP Rizal. nagtulak kami hanggang Shell (or caltex) ilang metro lang ang layo...

    the last at buendia/leveriza, buti na lang at hindi matrafik, nasa tabi ako, then sabay labas and lock ng pinto, bitbit ang isang container, karipas ng takbo sa petron sa fb harrison. takbo uli pabalik, buti walang nag-tow - hehehe.

    i always smile when i remember those misadventures...

    Happened to me once...sira pala yung gauge ko. Buti na lang I always keep a clean gallon in my trunk...park ko muna maayos yung ride ko then takbo to the nearest gas station.

    Almost. Stuck pala yung gauge ng 300SD. Akala ko madami pang laman. Putek biglang namatay sa EDSA. Nagstart pa naman pero panay ang patay.

    Hinihigop na pala lahat ng latak ng tanke. Bumara tuloy ang fuel filter.

    mahilig ako sa "oh the fuel warning light is on.. good for 50 kilometers pa yan!" ayun tuloy.. ayaw na mag-start, parang nahirapan pa yata yung fuel pump.. (have to check my fuel filter one of these days..) naglakad ako sa shell with 2x 2L coke bottles. red pala ang velocity! :D

    not my car, pero yung sa friend ko.
    low on gas na.. tapos pagkapark pa nya naka-incline in such a way na nung i-start nya, wala nang nahihigop na gasolina. :D

    hehe, kaya hirap din magpark na inclined lalo na pag low gas na..

    hindi pa naman. and sanayan lang naman sa consumption and destination. kung kabisado na kahit mag warning na ok lang. i usually fill up kapag meron akong pupuntahan na malayo.

    di pa naman ako nakaranas maubusan ng fuel. tulad ng iba, pagka below 1/4 na, pa gas na kaagad ako. Shell gusto ko, but If walang shell station na malapit, pakarga lang ako ng konti for the sake na makakauwi pa din ako then pa full tank ng Shell if available.
    mga peeps, papano pala mag blade for diesel engine? alam ko kasi, pag naubusan ka ng diesel, you need to blade your car. Starex pala aken.

    btw, I had a "switch" in my previous car where I can turn off the electric fuel pump, usually when parking to backup my car's alarm but it also can come in handy if you want to "strand" you & your date somewhere where the view is great and private. :D
