Running a Fuel Injected Engine Dry

[rjs987]

I ran out of gas in my Vanagon once, ('81 air cooled efi ) but I had a half gallon or so mixed chainsaw gas. got me to a gas station

Cut any trees down on your way to the station?

'80 a/c Vanagons drank gas like a Soviet tank. Maybe the worst VW mpg's of all time?
Lovely combination - bogg slow and thirsty!
I should have opted for the Champagne Edition baywindow at the other end of the showroom!
Then watched gas prices spike with that Vanagon.

Bought the '91 and was much happier.....for 21 years.

cause they were as heavy as a Soviet tank,  recommended tires were 10ply, I has a set of 10ply Hakks for winter, gas heater too, I hauled my son's youth hockey team to Portland, ME one night when it was 25 below, the other parent with me says " gees, that just like a wood stove" it did crank out the heat, at a cost of getting 5 or 6 mpg

I had the opportunity to buy a diesel Syncro, but passed on it
