Empty fuel tanks?

Doh, yeah. For some reason I'd got it into my head that the ship was floating around in an empty hex.

It's orbiting a Class F6 V star at a distance of 2 AU.

For an adventure I need a derelict ship found by the PCs to be unable to move due to empty fuel tanks (Not engine damage). I would like it to be possible to have life support running. I absolutely need to have the computer and the internal security systems (and a low berth) running. Is there any problems with that?

At a pinch, I can have the maneuver drives sabotaged instead of the tanks empty, but I'd really prefer not to, since it would contradict previously published information.

SNAP reactor, or Impy equivalent as an emergency back-up capable of dealing with a misjump to somewhere in deep space.

An empty space misjump, with normal traveller ships, means spend a couple weeks accelerating toward the nearest star, then everyone goes into low-berths to wait for approach to the star (in a century or so). So there'd have to be a long-term backup powersupply with basically no moving parts to support that particular issue.
