I have a focus 1.8 tddi , y plate

quick question please guys

in light of the current mass hysteria regarding fuel in the uk i just wanted to know where on the gauge will it go as a maximum before it runs out , i've never let it go beyond the line near the empty sign, but will it go right down to the empty e sign before it runs out?

on the odometer trick test fuel volume (option 10) it currently says F0027 followed by L003

Basically, where and when will it run out of diesel on the gauge?

Can't get diesel for love nor money in my area at the minute :-( and i'm currently below the line

    Usually once you get to the line then you would have maybe 30 to 40 miles left.

    Has the fuel warning light come on yet?

    Do remember that you are probably sucking all types of crud through your fuel filter when that low.
