  • Pug 307 2.0l 110bhp "01 - Hdi 2.0l not starting air in fuel lines 14 Nov 2016 (Forum)
    So my old car 110k the other day she just lost power and died. wouldn't start up again. its been gradually getting worse at starting in the morning. It now will only start if i pump the fuel 'grenade' pump untill its hard and even then it will only run for a few seconds. there is a lot of air in the fuel lines to the fuel filter from the 'grenade' and also to the fuel pump from the fuel filter there is air. iv tried loosing the injectors and bleeding some fuel through and tightening them but no luck.

  • all - Synthetic fuels 31 Mar 2023 (Forum)
    Germany is asking the EU to urgently review their ban on petrol and diesel engines and  to consider running these cars on E-fuels.  The engines would still emit carbon at the exhaust but a carbon offset at production of the new fuel would offset this.  A device fitted to the engines would not allow the cars to run on petrol or diesel.
  • Ford Fiesta - Fiesta tdci fuel leak 3 Aug 2016 (Forum)
    Hi, Last couple of days I've been smelling diesel through the fans when stationary and low speed. I had the injector seals replaced last year there doesn't seem to be as much fuel this time. The leak seems to be coming from the small fuel pipe into the top of the inject, the one with the little metal clip on. It's on injector two so has a join in it. It's this easy to replace, I'm not even sure what it's called, part of the fuel rail I guess and probably comes with all the other pipes.

  • 1.2 Polo (05 plate) - Help with Fuel Filter 19 Sep 2014 (Forum)
    The fuel filter doesn't have a built in regulator...that's on the pump in the tank. I was just wondering if the higher 4 bar rating will cause any problems with fuel pressure etc.?
  • peugeot 306 hdi - no fuel out of high presure pump 19 Aug 2010 (Forum)
    any help please. i have a 306 hdi that suddenly would not start. i have found there is no fuel comming from the pump driven by the cambelt. low presure pump working in tank. fuel being deliverd to filter and main pump but not comming out of pump to common rail and injectors. before taking the drastic action of repplacing the pump it thought i would see if any help is out there. could it be the stop solinoid attached to the side of  pump, or imobilizor, good fuel delivery up to this point.
  • Vauxhall Corsa B (1993 - 2000) - 1997 1.2l Fuel Filter Changing 31 May 2009 (Forum)
    Doing a few routine service items on the old Corsa. Easy access to everything so far. But the fuel filter is something which appears to be a little different. I guess it is under the fuel tank somewhere- is it easy to reach? Haynes says to depressurise the fuel system by dismantling the front parcel shelf , removing door seals etc etc. before removing a relay.
  • Forte Diesel Fuel conditioner OK 1 Jun 2001 (Forum)
    Finally after much trying got hold of a 375ml can of this at exorbitant price £11.74 MOT centre told me to put it in the fuel filter and bit left over in the tank. Before Forte Average emission test 3.29m-1 (Fail as limit 2.5) After Forte and 15 mile full throttle run Average 1.21m-1. Oh joy! (Did try other brand Injector cleaner from Halfords before in the tank but did not help) Wonder if the secret to get quick results was putting the fuel additive in the Fuel filter?
  • Citroen - Fuel - glow plug relay? 16 Oct 2017 (Forum)
    Citroen Berlingo van - 2007 Fuel/glow plug problem - hot running becomes a non-starter and RAC advised a faulty fuel pressure switch/sensor? All the research I’ve done points to a ‘multi-function relay’ issue? Would these be the same thing?
  • Ford Fiesta - Push on fuel hoses 22 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    Replacing the Bosch fuel filter on my diesel there are two push on fuel hoses.  The connectors have two tabs either side which you have to pinch in to release the hose. Can someone explain how these connectors grip the pipe, I just don't understand how they work, what is preventing them sliding off?
  • Toyota Yaris - Fuel filter replacement 17 Nov 2010 (Forum)
    Hi all! My sister has a 99 Toyota Yaris and i am trying to change the fuel filter but cannot seem to find it. There is a black 'box' mounted to the bulkhead just to the right of the engine that one of the fuel lines runs into but i cant see any way of undoing it. It seems to be the right size though.
  • Between Branded and supermarket fuel 10 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    I think everybody knows that supermarkets like Morrison's, Tesco etc fuel is cheaper than branded name like Shell and BP. Somehow I have the feeling based on unverified experience that supermarket fuel is less efficient in terms of mile per gallon it covers. Is this true?

  • espace with no power to fuel pump 23 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    My Renault Espace 1990 Petrol injection won't fire. Mechanic has confirmed it runs if power is run directly to the fuel pump, but otherwise pump receives no power. He suggested ECU controls fuel pump so that's been computer checked and is OK. He thinks there is a relay somewhere but cannot locate it. Can anyone help please?
  • Heavy Heavy (Supermarket) Fuel 8 Jan 2004 (Forum)
    HJ, You have talked often about fuel quality, and especially supermarket grades. Can you tell me whether when I see an Esso lorry pulling up at Asda's filling stations, and Texaco at Morrison's supermarket filling stations, are they delivering the same grade of fuel as that delivered to their own filling stations, or do the supermarkets buy an inferior grade?
