So I spent this weekend cleaning the van. I power washed the floors, cleaned the equipment and organized everything. I was feeling good,  I was ready to rock!! Or so I thought. On my first job I start the the TM get started and it turned off. WTH? I ran out of Gas!  slaping

I had enough gas to get to the gas station but it was embarrassing having to take off to get gas. At least I know I installed the fuel tap correctly. The TM ran out but still enough gas to get to the gas station

My friend hate's when tha3t happens.

He's always pushing it on gas and propane, and has to stop fairly often to go refuel. So really I guess he doesn't really hate when it happens, or he wouldn't be doing so often. laughing

I'm not a risk taker like that, so if I'm even close to low I'll fill up before the job.

A little bit of advice here....never let the fuel get below a 1/4 tank or half tank if your area is hilly.

The only thing keeping your in-tank fuel pump from burning up is being submerged in fuel. Without it, they over-heat VERY quickly and replacing an in-tank pump is a pita.

I refuel every time the van leaves the driveway, even if it is just a few bucks worth.

This is how I tell my people that same thing... "Every time you let your tank go below half you are one day closer to buy/needing a new fuel pump." I never let it get below 1/2 for that very reason oh and the hella embarassing it is to stop, unhook everything and go get gas. So yes I have done it but it has been over a decade since the first and last time I ever did that.
