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

Post by rydAnguris »

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

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 luck 👍

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 there

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.

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?

For future reference the DAF XF can show completely empty, put 100 litres in and it won’t even move the gauge

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.

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

Best to look in tank if you can.. I was driving a volvo that said I was completely out of fuel but I still made it 20 mile to the next fuel station.. wasn't a lot left tho..
