Failure to do so may damage components of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel in the fuel tanks. Besides empty and full, the gauge also indicates 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of total capacity. You will want to keep your fuel tanks at least half full to reduce condensation of moisture in the tanks. This moisture can damage your engine. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge WARNING! Do not remove a fuel tank cap near an open flame.
