  • Ford Focus - 2002 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi - Diesel Fuel Pump 12 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    Hi,   The above car has been diagnosed with a failed diesel fuel pump @ 90k. Does anyone know the approximate cost of repair and how much needs replacing? I have read that the injectors may well also need replacing due to metal being released when the pump failed and that this, along with the fuel pump, will make it an expensive job.
  • Diesel Escort 95 Fuel problem 24 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    Now (parked pointing uphill) the engine will start (after a lot of cranking) but stops practically straight away (there is half a tank of fuel). I tried pumping the little button above the fuel filter (I think Richard W gave advice on this before) and instead of being hard, was pumpable for at least 10 seconds. Does this mean there is an air leak?
  • Honda FRV - fuel consumption query 22 Feb 2011 (Forum)
    We are a 2 car family, one owned, one a fleet car.  Sad I know, but I watch the fuel consumption of both cars.  Recently, I filled up the Honda with a  tank of diesel at a local supemarket.  I calculated that the fuel consumption had dropped about 10%.  I put this down to a few short trips recently.
  • Vauxhall Zafira A (1999 - 2005) - 00 2.0 Dti - ran out fuel - how do I prime it ? 26 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    If my diesel car ran out of fuel, how do I prime the pump to get the new diesel through? Also, cleaning it today, I have seen a couple of plugs (green and yellow) under the front seats. What are these and are they used for anything?

  • Diesel cars in the US 21 Aug 2009 (Forum)
    Does anyone work with cars in cold countries or test them? Could an additive be added easily like FSII in aircraft fuel? I think diesel and aircraft fuel are fairly similar. I've driven a few diesel but nowhere really cold.
  • Diesel waxing 19 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    Do the fuel companies still alter diesel at the refinery, according to season, to avoid the waxing that used to plague HGVs?

  • VW 1997 1.9 Polo - Diesel motor surging 12 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    I can feel something just go klunk and the surge is unmistakable, lovely power but short lived.  My car is a non-turbo job, I have replaced both the air and the fuel filter recently. Is there a fuel filter anywhere else other than the main filter under the bonnet? perhaps on the fuel pump or ??? ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE IvorSmallFaucet in Sunderland 
  • Capping diesel price - today's HJ 12 Aug 2008 (Forum)
    Am I wrong? One answer might be to cap the tax take as a proportion of the new fuel sale price. HMG is taking much more in fuel tax this year than last.
  • Peugeot 307 (2001 - 2007) - 04 1.6 bleeding fuel system 25 Oct 2009 (Forum)
    As a result of a problem with the power output of my car { not going into the turbo } I replaced the air filter and fuel filter, the car wont run now , but was starting fine prior to this. I have primed the fuel filter and the filter has definately got diesel in it. After attempting to start it by towing it as the battery is now flat, there is pressure in the system if I release one of the pipes off the filter.
  • Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - Poor Fuel Economy of 2.0 TDCi with DPF 4 Oct 2009 (Forum)
    If you are thinking of buying a Mondeo diesel for its fuel economy, think again. I have just bought a new 2.0 TDCi Titanium X Estate fitted with a DPF, which will not achieve more than upper 30's mpg. The DPF has had an effect on fuel economy, so if you want a Mondeo IV diesel to get more MPG, at the moment it is best to go for the 1.8 TDCi which does not have the DPF as standard.
  • Diesel fuel consumption 9 Aug 2008 (Forum)

  • Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 Diesel - Vehicle will not start 25 May 2015 (Forum)
    My car sudderly started playing up on starting yesterday, needed churning over for long period befor firing up but then run absolutly fine. Today will not start at all. Have plenty of diesel  and fuel filter was chaanged less than 1K miles ago. I dissconnected fuel supply from inlet manifold heater and turned engine over, plenty of fuel coming thro line. Vehicle has only done 62K miles so guess injectors do not need changing, anyway this is so sudden.
  • Diesel *fuel* engine flush oil light on 24 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Using diesel fuel as a flushing oil, outcomes? I`ve heard about it for years and have always been horrified at the thought of the camlobe pressures (etc) when Derv is used as a flushing oil. But on another forum, someone has just run a petrol engine for 30mins at tickover on derv instead of engine oil with the oil pressure light on the whole time.
  • Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - Diesel Fuel Quality 30 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    The Vectra immediately returned to its good starting and smooth running. If my tank of ordinary Shell diesel contained water or particles then surely diluting it with 30 litres of fresh diesel wouldnt make the slightest difference. Ive generally used Shell fuels believing them to be one of the better brands but is this a quality problem or something else?
  • Renault Scenic mk2 1.9 dci 55 plate - injection fault red stop light on 10 Jan 2017 (Forum)
      Then try to fit an electrical inline fuel pump pre or post the fuel filter to present fuel to diesle pump.  Has anybody else done this and if so what pump was used, where fitted etc?  There are many on ebay fo £20-£30.
