Any - New European wide fuel labelling 5 Oct 2018 (Forum)
Instead of “Unleaded” and “Diesel”, pumps will be labelled with standardised letters and numbers, corresponding to the type of fuel, and the amount of biofuel it contains (E5/E10 for petrol; B7/B10 for diesel). A recipe for more misfuelling confusion! -

Dacia Dual Fuel Prices 17 Aug 2021 (Forum)
I see Dacia have dropped the price of their dual fuel (petrol & LPG) cars to exactly the same as their petrol only equivalents. So presumably the customers are not prepared to pay a premium (as they did for diesel when they had diesel models across the range) No space for a spare wheel with the LPG tank though kinda spoils the whole proposition too. -

Running diesels on Gas (Update) 14 Dec 2001 (Forum)
The prototype engine has been developed by Westport Innovations, a Canadian firm specialising in the R & D of natural gas engine fuel systems. Unlike other gas engines that use spark ignition, Westport's system uses the diesel cycles high compression. The fuel is added only after the piston has compressed the air. As a result, Westport claims that the diesel engines efficiency and torque are maintained.' -

1995 Pug 405 SRDT my 405 has been very hard to start of late and i have found there to be a diesel leak coming from the bottom of the fuel filter housing. It is a small white round piece at the bottom of the black plastic filter housing, on another site info I have read leads me to believe that is coming from a thermostat at the bottom of the housing. -
VW Phaeton - Diesel and Biofuel 27 Jan 2014 (Forum)
Hi all First post, due to the mess biofuel seems to making of our diesel filters. I only use BP Ultimate or similar, but have been unable to find if there is any biofuel involved after the blanket legislation by HMG. Having been used to treating boat fuel (due to the time it spends in the tank), I was wondering if there is any scope to treat car fuel (if biofuel is an issue) with the same biocide, killing any sludge forming bacteria. -
Corsa 1.5 diesel - fuel starvation 7 Aug 2005 (Forum)
After visit from auto-electrics guy, who ruled out electrical problem, we guessed it may be fuel starvation and as experienced on a previous car, fitted a push in temporary fuel cap as a "quick fix". Car has been fine ever since, which we assume means fuel tank breather is blocked causing vacuum. -
Diesel Fuel Economy & Acetone 11 Jan 2007 (Forum)
Hello everyone, I run a high mileage (>140k) VW Passat 110 TDi and have never tried using additive such as Millers etc. (See previous topics) In September Roly93 mentioned adding 1ml of Acetone for each litre of diesel in a previous discussion thread. Sounds like a good, cheap fuel-saving tip! Please let me know more re Acetone....(would the engine be at any risk?) (I must add that I acheive >53mpg on any trips over 10 miles [after which my old cruiser is well warmed up] and 49mpg around town on rarer short trips so I'm not overly worried about fuel economy!) -
