Ok....this wasn't the brightest thing I've ever done. My 89' 9000 CD Turbo had sat for a few days, so I went out yesterday evening an started it up...with the intention of letting in run a few minutes and then driving up to get some gas. Then the phone rings, then the baby wakes up, next thing I know two hours had went by and the poor car had drank it's last drop of fuel.
So....just thought I'd ask....can I just put gas into the tank from a can and start it up? Anything special I need to do. I've never ran it out before. My old jeep (no gas gauge) ran out often and I had to prime it, put gas in the carb.....etc.....a real pain.
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question....just don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks,
Bryan
