• Mitsubishi Shogun/Pajero 2.8 TD - Pajero fuel BP diesel 28 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  My Pajero only likes BP diesel. Put anything else in and the engine management light comes on and the engine gets a "diesel" rattle. I've had new injectors but that didn't fix it and a new pump is a lot of money. Does anyone have a similar problem or does anyone know what is in BP that is different from other fuels?

• Diesel cost 12 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Probably a daft question but years ago when I bought my first diesel the fuel was cheaper than petrol and you got better mpg to boot. Whilst fuel consumption is still better of course why is diesel now so much more expensive than petrol?
• Fuel Can Nozzle Size - for diesels 1 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Now that lockdown is being eased and we can at least plan for holiday trips, I've realised I have an issue with my spare fuel cans. When I tour the remoter parts of Scotland I usually take 2x 10 litre steel cans with extra diesel which gives me longer range between fill-ups - but my new(ish) VW Touareg has a "misfuel prevention" device in the fuel filler which requires a 25mm nozzle, no more no less - this is the size that all car and HGV diesel pumps are in UK so not a problem at the filling station but my existing spare fuel cans have nozzles which are too small to operate the misfuel device.

• Petrol can vs diesel - any difference? 28 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  , but is there any technical difference between the 'cans'? Apart from the very obvious potential for putting the wrong fuel in an engine, is there any difference between the green plastic for petrol cans and the black used for diesel that would preclude their use for the other type of fuel? i.e. would one type of fuel actually damage the plastic intended for another type of fuel?

I'm thinking of Yaris, C2, Micra, Clio, etc, etc. (I note some comments re. Clio in the forum at the moment.)
