• Fuel Shortage, what fuel shortage! 8 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I'm not one to start a filthy rumour, but after hearing on BBC Brekfast TV that there definitely was NOT a fuel shortage, how come the local Shell garage has been without diesel for 2 days at least, when they are usually on the ball. No, it's not a back-road operation, it's one of the biggest in Ipswich. To add to it, why are they queueing 7-8 cars at the remining petrol pumps.

  The finger of time draws a curtain over period where small economical diesels saved their owners a fortune in fuel bills - and... they could be used as desired without problems.

• Peugeot 405 Diesel (1988 - 1996) - Year unknown TD - Fuel starvation - won't idle 22 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  The probelm seems to be far worse when the engine is completely cold. When priming you can hear the fuel flowing into the filter chamber. The filter was changed three days ago, and has made no difference. It is running on veg oil/diesel, mixed, but this problem has only recently occurred, after several months of veg oil use.
