  • Stolen fuel!!!

    Anybody had there fuel stolen out of a surf?
    The reason I ask is because I think that Toyota made a bit of a boo boo with the fuel gauge because it gives a reading constantly & after I've filled up it gives every Tom, dick & Harry a clear view of how much derv i have.
    Is there a way of maybe wiring the gauge to a switch so you can flick it to show empty when you park up.

    Cheers Si.
    If its not broke don't fix it.

    Our 3rd gen shows no fuel with ignition off.

      Any good?

      Or you could just try putting a box of matches in front of the fuel gauge

          They must have improved the newer ones then.

              Never put matches on a dash in hot weather, as for the explosives.

                The claymore is Airsoft it is full of 6mm plastic beads so should not lead to any fatalities or a need to have a car valeter on speed dial,I think one of those left on the dash could work as a fairly effective anti theft device.....just dont park near anywhere 'sensitive'

                          That's why my truck now smells of kebabs...

                              I absolve myself from this problem (and several others) by never having more than £2.50 worth of fuel of fuel left in the tank when I park her up

                              It works wonders when my lass asks if she can use the truck when she goes shopping, when siblings in law ask for for lifts etc etc. One simple reply put`s an end to any further conversation `yes if you put the fuel in`
