Hooray for reserves!
Call me a luddite but when stuck at the side of the road contemplating my fate I realised having a reserve tap, instead of a fuel gauge has its advantages. At least you can manually switch it over and you're never stranded. Technology is great when it works eh. Having to hand over £220 (plus fuel) to the RAC leaves a bitter taste, but looking for a positive glad there's nothing mechanically wrong. I'll probably carry an external reserve in the SRAD's rear hump as it's big enough.

Ha, I ran out in Sheen Friday, too! Little YBR passed its MOT and I'd stuck a Chinese dash on to get it through. Just assumed the petrol gauge would be correct and had forgotten when I last filled up. Was showing half a tank when it died as I slowed at a zebra crossing. Hooray for reserves!
