• Ford Fiesta - Broquet Fuel Catalyst 27 May 2020 (Forum)
  This is an unbiased opinion, based on garage emission evidence. I have used a Broquet Fuel catalyst on a range of modern petrol cars and diesel 4x4s. At MOT, mechanics have been astonished at how low emissions from my vehicle have been. There is also a definite increase in power and torque as evidenced by less need to change into a lower gear.
• 1997 VW Sharan 1997 1.9 tdi Auto - Fuel System 6 Aug 2011 (Forum)

• Another VW Sharan Misfire 20 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  My 1999 VW Sharan 110 bhp TDi (red i) has a misfire ('coughs' on acceleration). So far I have replaced/had tested the airmass meter; new injectors; new fuel filter; new battery; have had dismantled and tested the diesel fuel pump and as a last resort changed the fuel provider and used a fuel additive (the last being a suggestion of Honest John's). I am loathe to part with the car as it goes well otherwise - is there anything left for me to try or will I be coughing all the way to the dealer via the bank for a replacement?
• BMW 320D Injection Fuel Pump 15 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  My car is two years old and has covered 35,000 miles, I use Shell diesel and most of my jouneys are motorways. Early this year the fuel pump had to be replaced along with some damaged parts - timing guardrail. My car was out of warranty but BMW agreed to pay 75% of the total cost of £2000.

• How to safely drain petrol from a car ? 11 Nov 2014 (Forum)

  I know they are not available in this country, but do they make them in Germany ? and if so, are they planning to sell them in this country ?

• Petrol into diesel don't go... 16 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Pity the poor gentleman causing M25 proportions tailback chaos on my local Tesco forecourt this morning by having accidently put two litres of unleaded into his diesel A2! In a nutshell ? what happens next: Rescue service hotline activated? Complete flushing of fuel system necessary? Likely cost of this bleary-eyed/early morning mistake? It wasn't me I assure you ?
• Audible warning for diesel fillers? 13 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I seem to remember Top Gear 'featured' an irritating device that fitted inside the fuel cap of diesel cars and emitted an audible warning when you went to refuel. Joking aside, was this a genuine device and if so anyone know where they can be bought? We have recently had three of our company car drivers misfuel cars with the corresponding onconvenience and expense of putting this right.

• Cheap Diesel????? 8 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Wasting time I came upon a site on the Net which alleges that if your purchase their formula then you can make diesel fuel at about half the cost of that current at the pumps. Surely this cannot be right both in economics or legality. www.ukmd.co.uk/mecatech/index.htm David.W - have you heard of it? I suspect a scam somewhere and those into Trading laws does trades description acts apply to the internet?
