[Vwdiesel] Run out of fuel

[TexasTDI]

If you run out, just remove the fuel filter, fill it with fuel, reinstall
it, and crank on her until she fires up.

I remember one time I literally drove into the station spitting and
sputtering.  I had run out of fuel way before I expected too.  I didn't have
any tools to remove the fuel filter.  So I just filled up the tank and then
just cranked on her a few times, no more than about 5 or 6 seconds at a time
to prevent burning up the starter or draining the battery, until she fired
up.
