Diesels you don not want to run out of fuel! Not only will they be hard to start but parts of the IP's are lubed by fuel.

On a fuel injected gas car from my understanding the pump starts pumping when you turn the key to a certain position and until the engine dies. It doesn't take long to fry a pump.

With the new Marine gas engines you have to fill the fuel filters with gas! Dry starts will ruin the pump in short order and they are not cheap.
