Runing out of Petrol!
Range Rover Blues:
It can damage the fuel pump. TBH though a lot of what's in the manual is just the manufacturer covering their a**e.

Righty that seems to have clear out my worrys!, never ran out of fuel yet but you know how thirsty the V8 is not sure how far to pust it!
Thanks everyone
Garth:
The fuel pump runs continuously when ignition is on and as it is a submerged type is cooled by the petrol in the tank. So if you have ignition on and no fuel in tank the pump overheats. Thats why if you have LPG you allways need petrol in the tank (or dissconnect the fuel pump.
Jonny Boaterboy:
Thanks garth will bear that in mind if I ever do run out
