• ford mondeo tdci mk 4 - Attempted theft of fuel 30 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Hi, some git has drilled into the rubber seal under the fuel filler pipe. Does anyone know how much it will cost to put right? If I can still put fuel in until it is sorted? Is it safe to drive? There is no apparent leak other than what I have cleaned from the bodywork after the thieves had finished.

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2002 1.6 - Erratic fuel and temperature gauges 22 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  I have a 2002 Focus 1.6 Ghia. Sometimes, but not always, after you turn the ignition right off the fuel gauge moves (normally very rapidly) from zero to about 2 oclock (regardless of the quantity of fuel in the tank). At the same time the temperature gauge moves to a (more realistic) position. Is this an electrical problem, eg water in the ECU?

• Vauxhall Vectra C - water in fuel filter warning 8 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Hi all, I have a vectra cdti and recently the warning light on the dash which apparently indicates residual water in the fuel filter started coming on. I used the bleed valve on the bottom of the fuel filter to bleed it for a few seconds then tightened it up again. Now it only comes on when the engine is cold and goes off again after about 2 minutes of driving.
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 04 1.6 Fuel Saver device 13 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I have been surfing the web to try to find out if there are any ways of saving fuel, I have seen an advertisment for a device called 'Pilot Green'. I believe that its one of those magnet type devices you attach to your fuel line. I was wondering if anyone had tried this type of thing and if it actualy worked?.

• Mondeo TDCi fuel filter change - Q? 8 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, I am thinking of changing the fuel filter myself because it is due though a full service is not yet due, the filter is easy to change, it clips in and has quick release pipe fittings, also the system is self bleeding though I dont want to crank the engine to get the air through, how about applying power to the lift pump for 5 mins or so to pump the air in the new filter back through the fuel return to the tank?
• The gross costs of fuel taxation. 6 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  http://img.thisismoney.co.uk/calculators/calcPetrol.html (are the tax rates current?) and don't forget, the annual fuel bill is shown as net, so grossing up is required. I cover about 40 000 miles per annum in/on various vehicles, averaging about 25 mpg. At a marginal tax/NI rate of 41%, I estimate that I contribute about £7.5k to the treasury in fuel tax, VAT and income tax/NI on gross earnings.
• Avoiding using the wrong fuel 22 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Why is it not possible to have a proximity buzzer/alarm that sounds (either on the car or the fuel pump) when the wrong nozzle is waved within a foot or so of the filler pipe?
