Out of fuel

   / Out of fuel #31  
Once is enough. I learned how to do it because I play with antiques and when you put them back together you have to bleed them when you refill the fuel system.

The absolute worst time for me was when I had to bleed the lines when a worker of mine was doing some landscaping and using my equipment. He was a good old farm boy. There were 2 or 3 other guys helping him. I was at my office so I drove home after he called me to tell me he broke one of the tractors.

Only took a few minutes to figure out it was out of fuel. But there I was, in my dress clothes, with an audience (that was standing there being paid by the hour), and I had a wrench. It was my first time bleeding the lines on that particular tractor. Got it done in just a few more minutes and showed the kids that I still knew what I was doing /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Chris, that is because you are not a slow learner like some of us!

I learned from others here on TBN and have yet to run out of fuel. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe he'll let us know in 2 years when he resurrects this thread.

Running out once is a good way to learn about your fuel system. Twice is a different story.
