• Diesel, pertrol or LPG ? Which is best for the ' 20 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Diesel costs 6 to 7p more per litre, potential fuel pump / turdo replacement costs to worry about, more frequent serviving etc., tend to be ex-fleet / rep cars, high miles. Pertol engines tend to last longer too?
• VW Golf MK4 110bhp TDi - Possible air in fuel system TDi Golf 26 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  Hi all, I let my Golf TDi MK4 TDi 110bhp (AFN code I think) run out of diesel and it hasnt been the same since. I topped it up with fuel and the car struggled to start but it did eventually. However now when the accerlator is pressed down the revs go up very slowly?? I have tried to get air out of the system using an extractor pump but it still dosent feel like it did before so can only assume there is still some air in the system.

  They primed the fuel system to being fuel from the tank and it still did not start. They then attempted to start the car with an aerosol type easy start product into the air intake, the car started and ran like normal after that.
• Vauxhall Corsa B (1993 - 2000) - '98 1.2 merit 8-valve drain fuel tank 22 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Please could you tell me how to remove diesel from a corsa petrol tank-about three and a half gallons worth with little petrol already in? I've tried using two types of syphon from a car accessory shop with no fluid coming out at all. The tank filler pipe seems very narrow and with a bend on it.
• Fuel Contamination 15 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Expecting the problem to be covered under warranty I booked in with the dealer only to be dissapointed when I was informed that the problem was due to Petrol contaminating the Diesel prompting the fuel system to be drained, cleaned and filters replaced. I am 100% certain that Petrol was not used by mistake so the only cause of this contamination could have been at a filling station with some petrol contamination within a deisel pump.

• diesel exhaust and carcinogenesis 24 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  Monitoring and control of the particulate is necessary. Prudent policy dictates continued efforts to reduce emissions of soot from diesel engines and decrease occupational exposure as a matter of good health and safety practice. Improvements in engine design, soot filters, and fuel modification will provide the best approach to exposure control.

• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - Engine flushing & oil changes - how often? 8 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I change the oil every 6th month and oil and filter, as well as an engine flush every 12th month on my vehicles. I use - diesel fuel (may shock some...) as an engine flush. What do you do? My last car clocked 200k (from new) and is still going strong. So it (diesel as a flush) cannot do the engine any harm!
