• Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2002) - 96 1.5 Diesel fuel leak after brimming it 16 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  New to this car, fill it to the brim and - consternation among the Shell guys - diesel started leaking all over their forecourt. Quickly bought a fuel can and whipped under the leak, but now diagnosing. After around half a litre or so, it stopped, but the fuel was capillaring down to the bottom of the tank, from where I don't know.

  They will only fit new parts. One mechanic told me that I needed a diesel specialist as it needs setting up but another told me that is rubbish but he won't do it. The diesel speciallist said it would cost £100 to diagnose that the fuel pump is broken which I have done already and £500 (the value of the car!!)
• Diesel Automatic Fuel Economy 8 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  There is a thread in 'Discussion' asking advice about diesel automatics. Somebody wrote: "In theory diesel engines should be better suited to automatic boxes than petrol, because of the way they deliver power and torque." I would also have thought that high torque at low revs - like the big lazy V8s in American cars - would be ideal.

• Diesel cetane rating mystery 6 Feb 2016 (Forum)
