• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2001 1.8 tddi estate - secondary fuel pump? 21 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  can anyone tell me has this car got a fuel pump in the tank to supply the main pump,ive got flat spot at 2,800revs after that clears itself.got a diagnostic and said its lack of fuel.garage checked his diagram and its said no fuel pump in the tank,but they rang ford and they said it did,but seems very cheap £55 so my garage thinks they could be sending the wrong thing out ie some sort of gauge.if it has no fuel pump it looks like ive got to get a new main pump!!
• Mitsubishi Shogun/Pajero (1991 - 1999) - 95 2.8td Fuel system bleeding (diesel) 20 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  The only thing I can think of is air in the fuel system from doing the fuel filter, yet I bled and primed it as suggested in the service manual. I'm thinking maybe I didn't spend enough time bleeding, only problem is trying to avoid getting diesel everywhere.
• Cavalier Diesel wont start 12 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Have checked all fuses, relays, wires, timing belt, also connected a direct cable from battery + term to idle stop solenoid (fuel cut-off) it clicked every time I touched the terminal on the solenoid. I also disconnected 1 of the fuel pipe unions from the injector and turned the engine over, no fuel came through. Did the same with 1 pipe union at the fuel injection unit (1 of the 4 pipes) still no fuel came through.Glow plugs warm up normal.
• Ford Focus TDDI misfire 23 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  It does it when the engine is hot or cold but has never done it when just idling. I have checked the fuel pipes incase it could be an air leak and changed the fuel filter. I am now waiting for the fuel tank to run low incase it is contaminated fuel which I purchased from a different forecourt to my usual, as I was on holiday at the time.

• Fuel prices 7 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Don't know what fuel prices are like around your area, but those at my local supermarket have gone up 7p/ltr (31.5p/gallon in old money) in the last seven days. Just doesn't seem to be any reason for it, apart from greed!

• Filling with fuel to the brim 15 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  When buying fuel I always "fill to the brim" so I can reasonably accurately calculate consumption, but I read somewhere that it's a bad idea. (I use diesel, by the way, if that's relevant.) Is bad to fill to the brim?
• Laguna Low Fuel Light 29 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  No doubt RenaultFamily will know this... How much fuel is left when the light comes on? Handbook doesn't say & the trip just goes blank. I've done 40 mls with it on, but wouldn't like to push it much further. Is there an industry standard on the setting?
