If you run out of fuel, you get a fail, as if you quitted the race [in my language, it's called a "NT", in english it should be a "DF"]. You have to finish the race so the payout occurs.

Probably what the anonymous above said is to run out of fuel on the last yards, so you still can cross the finish line.
