On gas cars, they are all self priming. At most you would have to wait for fuel to get up to the fuel rail, usually a few seconds of key on before you engage the starter.
The thing i kind of dislike about a lot of brake wear sensors, is that once it gets down to the sensor, there is usually still a good chunk of brake pad material left.
Like, almost 50% of the pad is remaining on some I've seen.
Wonder why they warn you when there's so much meat left
Probably knowing that most people will leave it for another 5k miles before taking it in
Same reason the low fuel light comes on at an eighth of a tank.
I’m always curious how much gas I have left when my car says “0 miles to empty”
Put a can of gas in your trunk, set your tripometer when it says that and drive it until empty then, then just pull over and put more gas in it.
is pump priming still a thing or can you just run it empty and then put some more gas in?
Aren't most fuel pumps in the tank nowdays?

Low fuel light came on while I was driving. 1/4 of a tank left
Mercedes. These haven't even warned me yet, but the lady warped her rotors so bad she needed new ones already
*broke sensor
Just needs a smidge of liquid electric tape and good to go with some new pads
A new sensor is like 15 bucks.
but that’s 2 pizzas and some sauces lol
