Agree. How long has it been sitting on 0km?

I would just buy a jerry can, borrow another car/taxi to the fuel station, fill that up and come back. That way, you'ld at least have 5ltrs in your tank and be safe. From memory, the fuel light goes on when there's about 10ltrs left, including the reserve, I'ld say the reserve would have about 5ltrs in it but how much of that is left is dependent on you (i.e. how long you've been driving with it on 0)

the reserve fuel should be at-least 50km worth so if i keep it under 2000rpm revs and keep speed at steady 60km i should be ok to get to nearest servo thats 20km away that has ULP95.

I keep a bottle of octane booster in the car just in case things like this happen. So I could use regular and boost it up
