My Diesel tractor seemed low on fuel (on the gauge) when I cranked it Saturday. It is parked out of sight from the house, road to the shed is right by the house and closely monitored, only one neighbor near enough to walk in and walk off with siphoned fuel. And perhaps he did not, maybe my memory for the gauge reading was just faulty. What I have done now is to use a stick to measure the fuel depth in the tank each time before I start the tractor and when I shut off the tractor and record those readings, in inches of depth, in a log book. I figure that within a month, I will know if the fuel is being stolen. If no theft, very good. If theft, on to Plan B.
