Hi,
A collegue of me had some trouble with his Volvo V70 2.5, his LPG installation had broken down and without knowing it he had completely drained his fuel tank.
Since I was in the office to do some administration and stuff I was send to help him.
So I bought a jerrycan with 10 litres of fuel and a towing cable (for just in case).
We poured the fuel into the car but to no avail, it just wouldn't start. Volvo thought that the fuel pump had run dry and was blocked. They could help him but he had to wait one hour. Since he was standing quite near to fast moving traffic, we decided that he had to be towed.
So I called the Audi dealer to ask if I could tow a V70, which is almost twice as heavy as the A2.
They said "Yeah, sure, just make sure the cable is tight before you start pulling and don't pull longer than a few kilometres".
So we started and everyting went fine.
I drove for 1.5 km with a V70 behind me and it worked like a charm. As long as the car is rolling you don't even notice it. The hardest part was getting it to roll but even that was easier that I expected.
I thought it was funny
