  • 2013 Mazda 6 Diesel - Fuel not Registering/Fuel Line Issues 4 Mar 2019 (Forum)
    I've just added another 5 litres of diesel to make sure (so about 12 litres in total versus 3 miles of driving) and the fuel readout is still on zero and no fuel is getting through (engine eventually cut out after driving about 100 yards tonight.) Any ideas? Have I plugged the fuel line with all the crap at the bottom of the tank?

  • Vectra Power Loss on low fuel 2 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    Having problems with loss of power whenever the fuel tank is below quarter full. The car is Vectra 1.8 LS registered April 2004. Fine the rest of the time but fails to respond to accelerator and splutters when this occurs. Could it be dirt in fuel tank?
  • 'Chipping' - more power = less fuel ? 12 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    How's that done then ? Surely, if you up the power, the engine uses up more fuel. Looking at BR posts, especially with diesels, most people who have had their engine 'chipped' find the car uses LESS fuel. Any ideas ?
  • V Vectra 1996 Fuel Consumption 24 Jun 2003 (Forum)

  • Diesel Fuel 6 Sep 2002 (Forum)
    I have just bought my first diesel - Saab 9-3 2.2 TID. There seem to be some 'variants' in diesel fuel - low sulphur, city diesel... I would appreciate any experiences on which ones are better for fuel consumption, less smoking etc

  • any - the two fuels very close on price now 23 Jun 2019 (Forum)
    As noted in the news section of the site, handy reductions on fuel prices, which have resulted in only 1p difference in the two fuels, currently in Kettering Diesel is 124.7 at Morrisons and Asda., last week i noticed Diesel at 154 at some MSA's. Handily i had a fuel voucher from last week's M grocery shop which i used filling up on the way home, so an extra 5 p off per litre, not a fortune saved but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
  • Peugeot 307 SW - Fuel prime? 20 Jan 2018 (Forum)
    Turning the key to the second position I do not hear a pump running in the fuel tank as expected, but cannot remember if it ever did before I ran out of fuel. thanks for looking, Mike.
  • Audi A4 Avant - Dented fuel tank 7 May 2014 (Forum)
    I can live with a slight dent in the fuel tank as it still takes over 80 quid to fill it!! so the dent is not that big. My concern is if the fuel tank continues to shrink which i will recognise, but what about if it shrinks so quickly that the fuel cannot be sent to the engine - - i dont want to cut out on the motorway!!
  • Peugeot 807 MPV (2003 - 2010) - 04 2.0HDi Where is the fuel additive ECU ? 1 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    I am in the midst of a "Minimum Fuel Additive Level" situation now and the dealer's dignostic report has many faults including the Fuel Cap Sensor and Fuel Additive ECU. Since there are so many faults I suspect a wiring / connector problem.
  • Daewoo Matiz (1998 - 2004) - 02 800cc Fuel trims very negative 24 Oct 2021 (Forum)
    Throttle position sensor (TPS ), fine; Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, fine; engine temp sensor, fine; idle air control valve, fine and finally PCV not blocked. I have not changed the fuel filter but I would have thought a blockage would cause a lean condition. The fuel return is fine so no blockages. I took the fuel rail off and connected it to the fuel pump to see if the injectors were leaking; they were fine.
  • Contaminated Fuel 29 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    Alternatively the garage could be taking me for a ride, I suppose.] Has anyone else had problems with bad fuel and do I possibly have any recourse against the filling station I bought the fuel from before the problem became apparent?
