• Petrol and diesel best detergents best performance - Petrol station fuel reviews which is the best? 20 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  HJ always praises the higher cost detergent added fuels. Has there been any independent tests done to prove which ones offer the best in terms of detergent efficiency and performance / mpg improvement over the standard fuel? Or what is your own experience and recommendation?
• Performance Fuels Rumours! 11 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  I have just emptied my tank on the car and decided for the first time in my life, I filled her up with the high octane unleaded premium fuel. Only costing me £6 more for a full tank! I was just wondering if all the rumours are true? Better economy? Better performance? Does anyone know the facts and whether it's best for me to continue using the premium expensive fuel?

• Blocked diesel supply pipes - Bio Diesel 1 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Understand that since bio has been added to diesel fuel there has been a problem with the deterioration of the baffles in the fuel tank. To such an extent that the plastic remnants have been found to be blocking the fuel delivery pipes. I heard of one case where the whole system including the pump had to be replaced at a cost of £9k.
• Peugeot 307 SW - Unblocked Fuel Filter 28 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  I have a fault coming up on a Peugeot 307 HDi which states unblock fuel filter, When it comes on it puts the Engine Managment light on, the performance doesn't seem to alter and when you restart the engine the light goes out. The fuel filter itself looks fairly new as if the previous owner may of had this problem before selling it!!

  I have a 1992 Honda Prelude 2.0l and i feel it uses too much fuel. For £10 of fuel i get an average of 35 miles while driving about city centre. It also seems to lack power a little. Anyone any ideas if this is normal. If not any ideas how this could be solved? Could it be the ignition timing?
• Is a leaking fuel tank an MOT failure? 27 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  My wife's J-reg Toyota Starlet is leaking fuel from the seam half way up the tank. If she runs it quite low and puts in no more than £8 of fuel at a time, then the level stays below the seam and there's no leak. If the leak area looks dry, will the MOT tester fail it?

• LPG/Duel fuel systems 7 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  hello, I've just taken delivery of a 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina. To my amazement it's (factory/dealer) fitted with an LPG duel fuel system. I know absolutely nothing about duel fuel and it would appear that my googling skills are not what they once were. :( I'm after someone in the bedfordshire area that can service/check it out for me.
• Fuel Spillage 18 Sep 2003 (Forum)

• How does a fuel tank work? 12 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Don't want to be totally ignorant here, but how exactly does a fuel tank work - everyone says don't run down the fuel tank to empty or you will pick up all the carp from the bottom of the tank. But surely the pipe from the tank must be at the bottom of the tank? Or is it slightly higher in which case how would the carp get from the bottom of the tank up into the pipe?
• Scenic (1998) fuel tank capacity? 10 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, Is the Scenic fuel tank really 60l (from Haynes manual)? I am only squeezing in about 45l with the needle resting on empty. Could maybe get a few more l in, but not 10-15! My oil level guage definately has a mind of its own, so perhaps the fuel guage is reading low?
