[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 10670, member: 82"] If you have a problem with not enough fuel, why not carry a bit around with you? Just leave it on the truck and you know you will be able to get the job done without leaving to re-fuel? I fill my machine with a 20 liter tin with a tap on the bottom. I lift the tin and put it on the ROPS, attach a small length of garden hose from the tap to fuel tank and open it up. If i have run the machine out of fuel i let it drain and re-prime the system while i wait for the 20l of fuel to get in the fuel tank. I found its a LOT easier than holding a jerry can and a funnel. It does take a little longer but you don't spill a drop and there is no effort involved in steadying the jerry can and funnel. Fuel gauges were never meant to be accurate, and when they are accurate its only on flat ground. I spoke to the service manager at bobcat about this once after i bought a new sender. I found it never read correctly, it would never show as being a full tank and he said they are just an indicator that there is fuel in the tank, not to be taken as an accurate indication of just how much is left.
