Do not panic when the road on the dashboard light is turned on, signaling that the fuel in the tank over. The main thing, remember the six rules which are listed below, and then such a situation does not make you worry more.
1. Without reserve does
For some it will be a revelation, but the zero fuel level on the instrument panel is not to say that in the tank completely empty. In fact, there has still about 5-6 liters of fuel, which is enough for a few tens of kilometers, and this is usually enough to roll to the nearest filling station. However, owners of diesel vehicles should not forget what is fraught for their cars driving with an empty tank - if fuel air to enter the system, then again start the car will be very difficult, even if the tank is filled by the most neck.
2. Do not hold to the gas pedal and brakes
What not to do exactly when the fuel is running out, so it is sharply on the gas, and also slow down. Making acceleration, push the pedal need as smoothly, and to achieve the desired speed experts do not advise to slow down. The work of traffic lights is better to watch from a distance and calculate the switching signal colors in advance. It is better to drive slowly to the green and rolled up to pass it without stopping. Any braking fraught subsequent acceleration and, consequently, additional expense of the precious fuel. But if you really had to get stuck in a traffic jam, at the time it is better to turn off the ignition completely, to save fuel.
3. Go to the top gear
If the traffic situation allows it, the better and more profitable to continue to travel in the highest gear. It is desirable to be in the region of 1500 - 3000 rpm, but the specific parameters depend on the machine itself.
4. Unsubscribe from the headlights and air-conditioning
To save on fuel consumption, it is necessary to minimize the power consumption. Most of the fuel is spent on air-conditioning and lighting. Turning off the lights, of course, if the weather permits, stove, air conditioner, defroster and seat option, you can save 1-2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. However, turning off the air conditioner is not in a hurry to open the windows - broken because of this aerodynamics would nullify all the efforts and fuel consumption will increase again.

5. dilute fuel
It is not necessary to dilute gasoline anything, but if the hand was suddenly pure alcohol, then pour a little bit you can. Stick level of 5-10% of the remainder, if the vehicle carburettor, and not more than 20% in case of the injector. Diesel fuel may be diluted with 5-10% kerosene. Diesel engines can also run on sunflower, and used motor oil. If you do not indulge in diluting the fuel often, the single manipulation will not affect negatively the car. But never, under any circumstances can not be poured into the tank water.
6. Move in neutral and coasting speed
Seasoned drivers to conserve fuel are advised to travel by car coasting. If you come expecting a protracted downhill, you can turn off the engine and simply slip on the way according to the law of inertia. Particularly well this method works on older cars with a carburetor. But the method should not be used on modern cars, as in the case of disconnection of the engine ceases to operate power steering and brakes, which is fraught with accidents.
