Furthest distance gone when range says 0 miles

[Jarvie.I]

I was between towns in Scotland during a long drive home and thought i should be ok to the next one for fuel, Range went to Zero, miles to town = 10, did i make it ?
Coasting downhills etc, on and off the accelerator etc, Head pointed over steering wheel for less friction (ha ha)..
How far have you got in yours, mine = T6, T28 fully loaded, awning,bbq,logs,coals, water etc.

My T6, 2016, T28 is always fully loaded, never tried to "run out of fuel", cant see to point of all the stress involved. We bought the camper to relax, but each to their own. I have not got enough hair left to keep pulling it out.......... We go away 3/4 months at a time being retired makes it easy.

Edited: to make it clearer as to what I want to say

Another fun game is draining the oil out of the sump then seeing if you can make it to Halfords, for fresh oil, before it seizes up.

I'll say yes you made it, quite comfortably in fact, but, as others have questioned, why put yourself in that situation?

The lift pump is fuel-cooled, it wont thank you to keep emptying the tank.

series of events, rush to get back circumstances, quick packnup etc- not ideal but i get your point. Sure i am not the 1st to gamble on stopping at the next station..

not a regular occurance.

Yep made it, but it was a bit tense to say the least. So 10 miles from range of zero message appearing.

I carry a 1.5 litre Sigg Fuel Bottle at all times so I don't have to get into that situation....

 

[StratosFearXX]

Ran my T5 out twice, once with five miles range showing, once with 15 miles range ...

I've done a good 30 miles on a motorway before running out.

I once ran a moped out of fuel 40 years ago out in the the sticks , in the dark.
I said I'm much cleverer than that , that's not gonna catch me out again ,,, and it hasn't.
Its just really is much more chew than its worth

 

[whodat]

I once coasted my T4 into the petrol station as it ran out on the way in. That van was blessed.


Until it wasn't.

Edited my post so it reads clearer. I not knocking you in any way as I stated "cant see to point of all the stress involved" At the end of the day you made it safely so well done.

35 miles. I'd just got the van and wasn't sure I'd got the 80 litre tank I'd paid for, so I pushed it, on a route home from Preston where I knew there were several fuel stations if needed. Yes , I have a 80 litre tank.

 

[sparkywig]

-15 on the range when I finally rolled into the fuel station. Don't usually run it much past the red warning light coming on if I can help it.
