Nice full tank of Diesel lovely morning sunshine wall to wall
I loaded my trailer with a Pinball LOTR for a trip up to Stockport
that I had sold over eBay and the Landy was super all
the way even up over the moor boy it was windy and
slowed me down a bit against the wind........
and did not get lost once it was a miracle
on the way back I thought looks like I can make back
on one tank of Diesel I was 4 miles away from home
on the A1 Peterborough and the engine just died
by luck I was in sight of a filter road and put it in neutral
and just glided up the filter road onto the roundabout
and down a small road I thought Sh*T by luck
there was a Extra Rest Stop just 1/2 mile away for
some unknown reason my mobile packed up so
walked over to phone home son-in-Law came out
with 5 litre tank and filled up next problem I thought
will it start OK or did the pump need priming no
after just 3 turnovers it was alive and well ....
Got to the Tesco garage and filled up
Anyway the moral to this tale is don't trust your
fuel gauge mine still had a small amount of red
still showing on the left side of the indicator but
I did do over 300 miles on that tank pulling a Trailer
