• Fuel Shortage, what fuel shortage! 8 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I'm not one to start a filthy rumour, but after hearing on BBC Brekfast TV that there definitely was NOT a fuel shortage, how come the local Shell garage has been without diesel for 2 days at least, when they are usually on the ball. No, it's not a back-road operation, it's one of the biggest in Ipswich. To add to it, why are they queueing 7-8 cars at the remining petrol pumps.
• Diesel fuel water treatment? 31 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I drive 2 common rail diesels and wonder if I should keep up the practice of adding a "water treatment" at the end of each winter. I have noticed that the same company makes a dry fuel additive and a cleaner which claims to "demulsify" the fuel to allow the separator to work better. Which if any would work with this sort of engine or should I just do nothing and use only top grade fuel and empty the water trap on the filter every three months?
• vw golf mk5 1.9 tdi - Fuel pump replacement issue 12 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  Hi all, new to this forum. Pulling my hair out with fuel pump issue, Fuel pump went couple of weeks ago and mechanic replaced it with new one. Then i started to notice a loud whining noise periodically mostly when driving around the town and stopping an starting  and when idling and in low gears, also the fuel display that tells me how many miles is left in the tank was fluctuating quite a bit, which it didn't do before and i noticed slight loss of power sometimes or it was less responsive, and after some hard driving (when im delivering chinese at night) its worse and the smell of fuel comes into the cabin.
• Renault Clio Sport Tourer diesel (2010) - Small fuel leak after filling up 1 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  I notice that after filling with fuel, there is a drip of fuel from under the bodywork behind the rear wheel arch.  I have never spilled fuel on to the bodywork, but there may have been drips or froth which would have gone down the little drain hole which is located within the recess in which the fuel filler is located.
• Vauxhall Zafira - Zafira central locking/fuel gauge problem 16 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  Curiously, the problem only happens when the car has at least half a tank of fuel and is turning right - the more fuel the car has the less vigorous the right turn has to be before the problem occurs! I'm thinking it must be due to some sort of cross-wiring issue as the other thing that happens is that if you start the car with the back doors open, the fuel guage tells you you have a full tank of fuel regardless of what you actually have at the time!!

• Vectra 2001 1.8 fuel pump 20 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had this problem? I have a Y reg vectra 1.8 petrol that starts to hesitate when the fuel gets down to about a quarter of the tank? Is this likely to be a problem with the fuel pump? If so, why only when it gets down to a quarter? Thanks Mark
• Does fuel economy improve in winter ? 18 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Just wondering if fuel economy improves in colder weather or gets worse in winter if the same journeys are made. For me I noticed with petrol engine cars the fuel economy goes down in colder weather. Does this also apply with diesel engine cars or does this improve (air density etc) ?
• Fuel. Fill, Cost or Quantity? 16 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Do you buy your fuel in £ or litres, or just fill it up? How do you judge your fuel consumption? My current car does 100 miles for each of the top three quarters of the tank so I fill up at about 300 miles or 1/4 on the gauge.

• fuel prices 24 May 2004 (Forum)
  I think I heard on the news this morning that Gordon "I've a stealth tax for everything" Brown is asking the OPEC countries to produce more oil to keep fuel prices down... Do you suppose he considered something a little less drastic like.... oh I dunno, reducing fuel tax a little? JaB
