Volkswagen Touran - fuel delivery problems
It’s getting increasingly difficult to get diesel into my Volkswagen Touran. The fuel delivery pumps continually trip even when filling from empty and I can hear a gurgling noise coming from the tank. Can you tell me what’s wrong?

The car's fuel tank breather must be blocked. so displaced air is not being expelled as you try to fill the tank.

With the price of petrol and diesel lowering slightly and the price of electricity likely to double if not more, will the cost of fuelling an electric car remain less than petrol or diesel?
