Ford Falcon Classic Dual Fuel 3 Apr 2007 (Forum)
I am unsure of running the dual fuel and hope to get an explaination of the finer details. So far I understand that I must start the car in petrol and then switch to gas. Does this mean every single time? And how long must I idle in petrol before switching? -
Fuel Duty Escalator Again? 2 Sep 2006 (Forum)
This time from the Tories: "Tories plan 'painful rises' in car and air tax" "This is about rebalancing taxation so that, yes, you will pay more in green taxes. You will, for example, see the reintroduction of a fuel duty escalator, I'm quite sure," Mr Norris told BBC Radio 4's World at One." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/09/01/ntory01.xml Kevin... -
306 fuel cap drain holes 30 May 2006 (Forum)
just wondered if any1 new if the drain holes where the fuel filler cap is would drain into the boot? The reason being that ive had a leak at the back of the boot (where the jack sits) for a while and couldnt work out where from. I noticed these drain holes and wondered if this could be the cause? -
New Fuel Protest Threats Wed 14 Sept 13 Sep 2005 (Forum)
Hugo - BR Moderator http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4221296.stm or just hot air? I understand that in Portugal they have the ability to reduce the amount of tax on fuel in situations like this, sounds like a reasonable idea to me, after all £1 a ltr is expensive, especailly if your business depends on it. -

This is in my 60k Passat 130, I was wondering if VAG PD engines respond particularly well to premium fuels or if this an across the board benefit? -
Fuel Gauge Honda Civic 26 Jul 2004 (Forum)
Hi the Fuel gauge on my 1995 civic has started acting erratically, it has only done it twice, once when the tank was low, it started displaying over full, and once when 2/3 full again displaying over full eg off the scale. -
Millers Diesel Power Plus 14 Dec 2003 (Forum)
I know H.J. is a strong advocate of the above product for keeping injectors clean and adding lubricity to the fuel to prolong fuel pump life. Its use has been discussed on this forum sometime ago, but I have run a search and been unable to trace any threads on the subject. As I do a lot of short runs with my diesel, I am considering using this fuel additive and would appreciate any feedback from any users in the B.R. -
Fill 'er up 1 Nov 2003 (Forum)
I did that rare thing yesterday: read the handbook for my Golf VR6. It cautions against filling up beyond the first time the fuel pump nozzle cuts out, because, in warm conditions, there is a risk that the space allowed for expansion will be lost, forcing the fuel to overflow. I can't find similar advice in the MB manual, but presumably it is valid for all cars, in which case we should be careful in trying to get the tank brim full for the calculation of fuel consumption. -
Diesel exhaust smells 26 Oct 2003 (Forum)
I have a Galaxy TDI, my wife has a Scenic DTi. Both use fuel from the same pump at the same garage. Why do the exhaust gases smell different? The Renault's has a particularly distinctive whiff (and has done since new) which doesn't actually seem to change if a different brand of fuel is used, whereas I cannot really smell anything from the Gal, again irrespective of what brand of fuel I use. -
Herald starting 22 Nov 2002 (Forum)
However, if I start it the day after it has been run, it jumps into life very quickly. I suspect, as the fuel pump is mechanical, the fuel drains back to the tank after a while and it takes a long time to get to the carbs. Should their be a one-way fuel valve somewhere? Anyone out there in HonestJohnLand got any bright ideas? -
Noisy fuel pump 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
Just nipped home for lunch in my Audi Coupe. Slowed down to turn into my drive, and... what's that whining noise? The previously silent fuel pump now sounds like someone has left a cordless power drill running in the boot. Any suggestions? I suspect this may be expensive. I left the car at home and came back in the Land Rover, as it is only 3 miles to work, so the AA wouldn't tow me home if the pump died on the way. -
Fuel Mixtures 10 May 2001 (Forum)
I think my cars running a slightly rich mix (spark plugs were fairly black when I changed them) so... I know where to change the mixture but which way do I turn it?! Is in more fuel/richer mix or is out? The car's an '88 Audi 80 1.8 carb. I think the model of the carb is a Kleihn II or something similar to that. I know it's a bit tight fisted but I resent paying somebody to turn a screw! -

Bought a fuel filter and an oil filter recently;fuel filter was marked "Motorcraft" as usual but the oil filter was marked "FoMoCo";a trademark that I thought was long gone but the part was not for an old car. -
How does a fuel gauge work? 3 May 2005 (Forum)
Specifically my Zafira 1.6 - gauge seems to vary a lot. Do they have a floaty type thing or is it more technologically advanced than that? -
