You will probly have to drop the tank, flush it, new gasoline installed, blow out the fuel lines and have a good battery ready to go. nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Feb 6, 2010, 6:11 PM Post #3 of 3 (1387 views) Re: 2000 mitsubishi mirage ran out of fuel Sign In last time I saw one of these problems I had to do as suggested, drain all the fuel. Put that battery on a charger, there's no sense in wrecking it or your alternator. Get all the diesel out and maybe replace the plugs. Get the fresh gas in it and take it out on some backroads to give it a good run. A fuel filter helps too. You won't damage your engine with diesel in it, but you need to get a good run on it to clean out the residue and hopefully your cat didn't plug up with soot   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
