HEHE... i've done that a few times in the past...
On the fuel tanks, heres an interesting tidbit... The true capacity is
always a galon or two more than the printed capactity. The reason why is
for idiots like us who push our luck every once in a while. Also the fuel
guage is calibrated to have a little less than what is in there. So even if
your on E, youve still got a gallon or two.
Just don't push your luck :)
