Could be worse; a few years back, I came across a guy with an E-450 party bus with a 7.3l PSD...developed an air leak that kept the electric air compressor going long enough to drain the batteries. Next thing I knew, some guy with an air-cooled VW hippie bus was backing up to the PSD to jump it I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen...I finally got the VW to run the engine at 2000 RPM or so for 5 minutes to try and give the PSD's batteries a bit of a charge...even still, the moment the PSD driver hit the starter, the VW's generator full-fielded and bogged the engine down enough to kill it. I tried to warn them... (I was in a stretch limo that had electrical issues of its own, which is why I didn't offer to jump the bus myself...the guy ended up calling a tow truck)Salesguy tried to jump it with one of those jumper packs, I laughed pretty hard. Finally got it running with an additional jumper pack (I was sitting back shaking my head the whole time ) and after some driving it charged back up.
