What will you do if fuel tank is empty?
If you have a completely empty fuel tank and your car cuts out whilst you’re driving, you should put your hazard lights on and leave the vehicle only if it is safe to do so. If it is not safe to do, such as in the outer lanes of the motorway, you may need to contact the police.
What to do if your fuel filter is empty?
