  I had four new tyres over a year ago the offside front tyre wore out rapidly and had to be replaced. We have had the tracking done numerous times to try and correct the cars thirst for tyres and fuel but it has never really been right. I beileve the tracking and tyres are now fine but the fuel consumption is not. Most annoying the fuel consumption is not very good, across all types of driving, short distances to long motorway runs it has never achieved better than 300miles per tank.

Checked seals to diesel filter all fine, fuel filter has just been replaced checked for problems it to was fine, disconnected hose from fuel filter to diesel injection pump & turned van over to check for fuel, this to was working so pump in tank working. disconnected fuel union nut at fuel accumulator turned van over but no fuel delivery, could this mean injection pump goosed or is there something else i might have missed before i change pump as its not cheap.

• MK1 Mondeo TD Running Fault... 9 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  So, is this is a clear sign of fuel pump failure, or there something I?m missing? (by no means a mechanic !!) Only thing I can think is that when I?ve been removing pipes etc, it is no longer a complete vacuum? would this stop fuel being pumped along with ignition???
• Rocket fuel ? the future ? 26 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  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. It can then be reused. The article suggests that scrap cars can be the fuel for the next generation. As far as having a hydrogen fuelled engine, think what would be safer in a rear end shunt, a pressure vessel full of hydrogen or a tank full of iron ?
