• Fuel enhancers 26 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Hi all a quick question, i recently used "ZX1 Extralube" in my fuel tank (stupidly putitng in 100ml instead of 50ml) since which the car has lost power on acceleration. This is an intermittent problem which comes and goes, i am still on the same tank of diesel too.
• Fuel Consumption Meters 14 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  Can anyone tell me how the meters that lots of cars have now, apparently displaying the instantaneous mpg, work? Do they actually measure the rate of fuel supply to the engine, at a given instant, compare that figure with the road speed, and then calculate the mpg at that moment? Or is it simply recording some other engine indicator, eg inlet manifold pressure, and re-calibrating this into a notional mpg?
• Fuel price 11 Nov 2021 (Forum)
  Saw diesel at £1.68 a litre at Fleet services yesterday....ouch. Remember queuing up to buy petrol when it went up to 50p a gallon.

• Emptying fuel tank (306) 4 May 2006 (Forum)
  Is it possible to do this? Nope, no misfuelling ;o) I'm selling the thing, and currently have £50 worth of diesel in the tank!
• LPG 15 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  With fuel prices as they are, why are there so few cars that can run on LPG? I know conversions are available on many but there are very few new cars that are bi-fuel.

• Ecotek Fuel Saver 5 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if this is worthwhile? And if it is, I wonder why the technology's not being used by car manufacturers (unless something to do with patenting...) frmarcus
• Peugeot 806 MPV (1995 - 2003) - 01 2.0 Fuel pressure sensor fault 21 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Again this was clean and no signs of wear. I have dropped the fuel tank and taken out the fuel lift pump and inspected it. The pump was cleaned, the tank inspected (no dirt/gelling bio/metal fragments) and drained and again all looked ok. On reinstalling the fuel lift pump and tank, the car was now cutting out more frequently, only running for half a minute before dying.

• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 01 2.0 HDI 110 - P0190 AP Fault 21 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I have had an anti pollution fault come up a few times. P0190. On the scanner used it said "Fuel Pressure Regulation - Pressure Coherence" but I have seen this more commonly described as "Fuel Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction". If the fuel isn't flowing properly would this cause this DTC? I am wondering if there is something in the fuel tank that may clog the uplift pump but moves away when the car is at a certain angle.
• Fuel prices going down this evening? (Mar 23rd) 27 Mar 2022 (Forum)
  Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng demanded the lower prices for petrol and diesel after Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced he was axing 5p off fuel duty per litre from 6pm on Wednesday. He tweeted: 'The public will rightly expect to see the 5 pence Fuel Duty cut reflected quickly in the prices shown on the forecourt this evening.' He added: 'This afternoon, @RishiSunak and I have written to major retailers, trade bodies and the supply chain to set out our expectations.'
• Nissan Qashqai 1.5dci - Fuel pressure regulator and starting/running prob 10 Dec 2021 (Forum)
  When the problem exists, I can start the car and immediately push the accelerator to about 1500rpm for about fifteen seconds and the car stays running.   The fuel rail has been cleaned several times and they have checked for air leaks and fitted new grommets to the fuel filter.   HELP. Do you have any ideas?
• Old cars, especially historic vehicles - Rubber fuel lines 27 Jul 2021 (Forum)
  Drip -drip-drip onto the now sodden cardboard which lives under the TR7.   Aarrgghh! Out onto ramps and urgent syphoning into my 4 gallon plastic fuel can (which came overland from Zambia 47yrs ago) until I could remove the rotten 41 year old six inch rubber pipe connecting the tank outlet to the fuel line.  Fortunately I had a spare length from a similar sort of repair on another car back in the mists of time which, after immersion in boiling water, softened up sufficiently to fit.
