Ran out of gas. Should i be worried??

^ What the weasel said.
It'll be fine.

 

How in heck did you get it started ??? I ran out of fuel once and mine would not hit a lick until we pumped up the fuel.

Peace

 

I had fuel stolen years ago and rolled to a stop at the top of an exit ramp. Right next to an abandoned gas station/ C store. Inside the open door was a 5 gallon red plastic can of old, really stale gasoline and an old pile of bottles of assorted engine and transmission oils. I emptied it all in the tanks- I figured about nine gallons of oils and gasoline- just enough to cover the pickup line in the tank. Got it started and at the next exit was a no name fuel stop.

In the military when some dummy put the wrong fuel in the tank you just idled the fuel off- until the engine ran out of fuel. Then just refill it (with the correct fuel) and drive off.

 

A little starting fluid goes a long way to getting it started after running out of fuel. Taking off and filling the filters makes it even easier.

 

I always get hysterical when I hear this (you may have picked up junk from the bottom when you ran low) LOL The fact of the matter is the pickup in the tank sucks from the same level (the bottom) whether its sucking from a full tank or an empty one...... The pickup dont drop as the fuel gets lower...LMAO

 

Ether does help if you run out of fuel and your in a hurry and don't want to pull your filters off, also CAT engines have the little plungers that can be of assistance.

We had guys where I work now use the plungers on a cat fuel filter housing for dipsticks, well at-least they thought they were dipsticks and yanked on them so hard they broke....idiots.

 

You're lucky, you apparently have an electric fuel pump. Otherwise there is all kinds of fun involved with getting them re primed lol.

The truck may run like crud for a while. She might buck and hiccup until all the air gets worked out of the fuel lines through the heads and to the injectors, but she will be just fine.
