If for whatever reason your Los Angeles moving crew has run out of gas, whether it is a faulty gauge, driver’s negligence, or a leaking gas tank, the first thing to do is to ensure safety of the crew and surrounding public. Turn the emergency lights on and place orange cones to indicate emergency situation. One note here: if for any reason you are planning to keep emergency lights on, make sure you have relatively fresh battery, as they in conjunction with liftgate operation may seriously drain the battery.

Now, instruct one the drivers prepare to start the engine and open the starting fluid can. As the driver cranks the starter, spray the starting fluid inside the air intake generously and continuously. The truck will start almost immediately, however continue spraying for 5-10 seconds to ensure that diesel is pumped through the system. Be prepared for the extreme noise as you will be working in front of the revving engine and a black smoke to come out from the exhaust. Be extremely careful with the starting fluid as it is highly combustible chemical and can cause chemical and heat burns if used improperly. Read the labels to ensure safe handling.
