• HJ doubting diesel 29 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  In HJ's Saturday Telegraph column today he comments to a reader that he is getting so many reports of failed DMFs/clutches, injection pumps, injectors, turbos, intercoolers and EGR valves on diesels that he wonders whether overall running costs may be cheaper for petrol engined cars. Now I don't agree with HJ on everything he writes but it was EGR valve problems (and mis-fueling concerns) that put me off a diesel C Max last year.

• Rocket fuel ? the future ? 26 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  The reaction takes place in a chamber just before the inlet valve of the engine. The expanding gases push down the piston in the same way as the burning of petrol or diesel. Valve timing will be different of course. The cylinder remains clean - doesn?t get carboned up. Exchange your used up tank at a refuelling station, and the spent fuel can be regenerated by heating it in the presence of hydrogen.
