• Mazda 2 - Mazda 2 1.4 Diesel - Cutting out when cold 8 Jun 2014 (Forum)
   If I prime the fuel using the hand primer in the engine bay I can see air bubbles moving in the clear fuel line.  It will then start and run fine. I think my mazda has had some aftermarket fuel lines added including the hand primer which I do not think is standard (I did read online a lot were replaced under warranty).

• Low Sulphur Petrol - Poor economy 5 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  I've noticed that my fuel economy has dropped by ~2-3mpg, and performance seems to have drooped off, since the forced change to Low Sulphur fuel. Is this normal or should I be looking elsewhere? Exactly the same occured with my previous Diesel car when City Diesel became available.

• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - 03 2.0 Engine cutting out - diesel 17 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  But before you fork out for a new diesel pump or suction valve for the pump via Feather Diesel or wherever, I would advise you to check your diesel filter has been changed, this is why. My car had a full service history up until I bought it, but when we changed the fuel / diesel filter I found it to be very, very dirty inside and was also surprised to see it was a Denso fuel filter which lead me to believe it may never have been replaced from new, maybe some of you out there could tell me more?

• BP Ultimate fueling Error 2 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I finally succumbed to the marketing blurb and pulled my A6 TDI 2.5 Quattro alongside the BP Ultimate fuel pumps, 14 litres into the transaction I smelt petrol! The first time in 19 years of driving had I made the mistake of mixing fuels. A tow, £200 later and two days later I was refueled with the correct diesel grade and on my way, then I began chatting to friends etc. it seems there is a growing army of poor unfortunates like myself that have made an error at the BP Ultimate pump.
