G'mornin' Folks,

Runing any Diesel motor out of fuel is not good. It causes your Injection Pump to run dry.....even for a few strokes, the metal to metal surfaces can be damaged, because they are lubricated by the fuel itself.

Personally, I try never to get below 1/4 tank........and have never seen the little reserve light illuminated (excepting in starting)......
