Some experienced DAF Trucker needed (just a quick question)

[Beltane]

So, i started a new profile with a DAF XF Euro 6. Lovely truck, but there is one thing i fail to understand - the fuel gauge. It consists of two parts, the normal looking one, and then the LED stripe next to it. What i don't get, they don't match. Question therefore is... just a visual bug or do they (and thats what i think atm) show different things.

Left part is crystal clear, total amount of fuel left in the tank. But right still continues to show 3 blue, 1 red even in case the game says i run out of fuel. Is the right part evaluating expected distance with the data (fuel left, average fuel consumption) it has? Thats really the only thing i could think of and which would make sense to some degree. Even when the game starts crying about fuel i usually still have enough left to go several 100 km.

it´s probably the Add-Blue indicator, a fuel additive...

The left gauge is for fuel and the LED Stripe is for Ad-Blue

Ugh.. right, that could be it. As you don't have to refuel it seperatly i tend to forget about that stuff. Thanks for reminding me *cough* Happens when you are only an armchair trucker :D

I can confirm that
The analog one on the left is the diesel tank and the LED is the adblue gauge...
If you want to see how many km/miles you can go with your current fill, you can also use the display's digital fuel and consumption page...

Yea, that one i have on the screen most of the time. As said, i simply forgot about AdBlue :)

Unfortunately, you don't have to care about AdBlue at all.
I'd love to see that feature in the game, so that you should never ever forget the AdBlue gauge ;)

AdBlue doesn't get added to the fuel, it gets injected into the exhaust gas.
