ran out of petrol got this fault now the car wont accelerate since getting petrol will move but hardly any power,car just got a service last week everything was ok, rang the gargage sounds like he is not sure himself anyone any ideas of what is causing this?

By running out of fuel, you have more than likely drawn rubbish from the bottom of your fuel tank, into the fuel line. It will now be causing a partial blockage, and your engine is being starved of fuel.
Sounds as though your mechanic has got enough work and does'nt want any more.
Get a second opinion.
Personally I would start by removing any filters and checking, cleaning and replacing them if need be. Maybe the fuel line needs a blast of air through it.

Are you a memberof a breakdown service, if so give them a call as the car is really not in a safe condition to be on the road.

no breakdown service any more,managed to get it going this morning and get it to the garage I live in a small town and I didnt really have a choice but to go back there the car was driving fine going there then same thing happened again,I have left it there for now I really hope he can fix it,great advice it will be nice to have an idea before I go back to speak to him.

The fuel tank/pump pickup needs to be checked.
The fuel filter should be replaced under these circumstances.
