On one occasion when I was driving back from Limoges to Wirral in the Merc Estate, I was feeling really pleased with myself as I had set a new World Record of travelling 750 miles on one full tank of Diesel. I had arrived home with the yellow light still on and feeling rather tired I did not drive for two days. When I was ready I jumped into the car, she fired up immediately and I set off for the local petrol station,,less than half a mile away. As I approached a junction controlled by Traffic Lights, the lights changed to Red and I had to stop on an almost unnoticeable incline. The engine stopped as the fuel was insufficient to be drawn along the fuel line. It took 15 litres of fuel and a lot of walking to and from the garage before it would fire up again.NEVER AGAIN SAID I.
