Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
Hi everyone, I had a full tank a diesel stolen last night whilst parked on the A14 near Huntingdon. Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel left in the tank? Shell garage is 5 miles away but I'm not happy to risk it running dry on the way. Tia

Can't you look in the tank with a torch?
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
Have a look inside your tank and see what’s left

Just drive it, if you make it you’ve saved your boss a call out, if not he’s gotta pay for the call out anyway…

I've had a look with the light from my phone but can't see much, what I can see doesn't look like much. Might try and find stick I suppose and dip it.

if you can even see a little bit it's probably more than you think I would attempt the 5 miles personally but then again maybe contact your boss see what they say, good luckrydAnguris wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 12:07 pm I've had a look with the light from my phone but can't see much, what I can see doesn't look like much.

Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
the DAF's usually won't start unless you have about 40 liters of fuel left in the tank.. so if it started you should have enough to get thererydAnguris wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 12:07 pm I've had a look with the light from my phone but can't see much, what I can see doesn't look like much.

Another under eco that shows consumption but no levels
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
It won’t just be fuel left in the tank you’ll have some left in the engine block and lines too. Should be enough to get it started and a gentle run to the garage.
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
Use a stick and dip the tank?

Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
Ring DAF aid your gaffer will be claiming on the insurance
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
If only there was a snap parking just up the road
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
why just £20… if this person does 4 nights out a week, that's £100 a week in parking & lets face it, other places are a lot more than £20 a night. £4,160 a year in parking… how many people do u know that's been robbed 8 or more times in a year?
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
so you have NEVER parked anywhere than a truckstop or services in your whole Driving career???
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
There is... Williams Transport yard is Snap parking in the Weekdays
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
Dip tank as might only be sender damaged
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
For future reference the DAF XF can show completely empty, put 100 litres in and it won’t even move the gauge
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
Don’t matter when ur out of time you need to park up in this shit hole of a country there’s no proper parking for lorry drivers or safety in mind
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
It is getting worse for lorry drivers where ever you park is not safe hauliers yards are getting robbed so no hope for you. Bring back lorry parks in town center where people are working about.
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
Still think the police truck is doing a good job hope you get sorted soon fella should get it to that garage
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
How come your having full tank of fuel when parking up
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
yeah yeah of course but still why park up with full tank of fuel knowing you're in a dodgy area
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
well yes, but can’t always be planned like that can it
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
she could always have put 50 litres in if she was running low and then filled up in the morning
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
I could if won the lottery last Saturday you could go on forever with it, the lady simply asking for advise and then u get patronizing answers that we all already know, it can’t always be planned that way
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
all of the A14 is dodgy get your head out of the sand
Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
And a good advice as well is don't park with an empty tank.
I park with max 80-100 liters... Usually with 50 ish
I once runned out of time and stopped with 180 and it got nicked... Since then... I don't care what is happening... If I have too much fuel I try to go secure parking even if I get an infringement.

Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel

Re: Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if the dash on a 21 DAF xf has any settings that shows the exact amount of fuel
in all fairness I went to Colsterworth a couple weeks back to stay there and I went straight on the pumps, and before I filled up I asked the security if there were any spaces left and he said “yeah I’ll get you in somewhere”, so I brimmed it full. Went back to see him after I filled up to see where he wanted me and he said “sorry but there’s nowhere I can squeeze you in we’re rammed” had 15 mins left on spread and stibbington was full too. Just had to risk it. Next to no sleep that night I can tell ya

You will make it to the garage if it’s only 5 miles away
As long as you are not under the red marker you should be fine
