Can I Just Refuel After Running Out of Gas?
1 Answers
When the fuel tank is completely empty, air can enter the fuel lines. When refueling, add enough fuel to submerge the fuel pump, and let the engine idle for a while to purge the air from the fuel lines before starting the engine. If the engine still doesn't start, simply loosen the return fuel screw with a 19mm wrench, manually pump the fuel supply pump until fuel without bubbles comes out, then tighten the return fuel screw and try starting again. If it still doesn't start, seek repairs. Here's additional information: Solution: Add alcohol. Nowadays, various types of gasoline contain alcohol components, so in desperate situations, you can mix in alcohol as a substitute for gasoline. However, this method can damage the vehicle, and the fuel system must be cleaned afterward.
