I once had a Datsun 280Z (1978).  BIG WARNING in manual (an afterthought insert
if I remember correctly) that said "DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS"  The reason?
something about that the fuel system is under pressure (because of fuel
injection) and that once pressure is lost (by running out of gas, braking
a fuel line,...) no fuel would flow into engine, etc.  The car most likely
woul;d have to be towed to a dealer where pressure, etc would be restored
and car restarted!  I've heard similar needs for other fuel injected cars.
