went out to my car today to start her up as she has been sitting in a garage for a few weeks being worked on and when i started it it sound like it was running on one cylinder! looked at the petrol guage and it is at the bottom of its teather but would this make it run on just a single cylinder. i have no means of getting any petrol till friday so just hoping it is a petrol stavation!

i was finishing off fitting my nitrous kit but there is no possibly reason for that to stop it like it has! i have checked all the connections and hose and parts that i have worked round so mylast thought must be the petrol running! will fill a can up and empty that in on friday and see if that sorts it out
