How can I start a DD Series 60 if I run out of fuel?

[freewill2008]

Greg - Thanks for that great titbit of information. I feel better about hauling
all that fuel around instead of "running on empty".

Bob Griesel '84 FC31 WLII, 3208 of course.

tank will get warm as the engine runs. the fuel that gets pumped to the injector
pump but doesn't get injected, passes the injectors on its way back to the tank.

is let to run too low, there is less fuel to deal with the calories so the
ability to adequately dissipate reduced. The tank will get hot to the touch.
I cooked a computer in a 92 N-14 during the $6.00 fuel price period while
buying fuel like a commodity .

the cause. On my 92N-14 the engineered tank that 'Ford Truck' ( now 'Sterling
truck' installed sent a low fuel signal light and buzzer to the cab. I
previously replaced the OEM tanks with a cool looking aluminum 200 gal set and
never considered hooking up what I thought was a simple "get some fuel" idiot
light and alarm.

is to take WD-40 and spray into Air Cleaner and let her run on that until she
picks up prime...

pretty low though. What steps are necessary to restart the DD Series 60 engine
in the event that I should run it out of fuel? Is this when I should use the
ether injection system???
