• Coasting 10 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Does this work with modern cars? With the clutch pressed in there will be enough fuel supplied to keep the engine idling. Someone told me that if you simply take the foot of the accelerator the fuel supply will be cut-off/reduced to save fuel. This makes sense?
• Accurate Fuel Gauges 22 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Who would like an accurate fuel gauge? In these computer controlled days with engine management systems that can update the fuelling 16 times a second and Sat-Nav systems etc, etc, why do we have fuel guess gauges? My wife has a Yaris with its hi-tech instrument panel, but the fuel gauge is a column of lights, the last one of which 'blinks' when the fuel is low; but how low is low?
• Fuel quality - I still don't get it......... 16 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I often read in threads on here, from HJ himself (I think) and on French car websites this business about making sure you use 'quality fuel' ( latest one was a French car website blaming TDCi failures on poor-quality supermarket fuel ). Yet people ' in the know' seem to say the fuel all comes from the same refineries and all meets the 'required standards' (I mean, this isn't Cambodia is it ??)
• problems with fuel sender - Fiat Ducato 24 May 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, Recently had problems with my clutch which thanks to the help of the people on this site was sorted out. Thank you. The vehicle running well but having problems with accurate fuel readings. The engine was originally a 2.0 liter petrol engine. Now has a Fiat Ducato 2.5 Diesel. I do not know much about the history of this vehicle. When the fuel reaches a quarter tank the orange light flickers and on occasions the fuel meter reads empty, which courses all sorts of problems resolved by stopping and turning off the engine.
• peugeot 406 hdi 90bhp 2000 fuel problem 8 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  There is a little like black pump below the first injector which seems to pump fuel into the fuel filter, its made by elth, can anyone tell me what this does, and if it is supposed to make quite a loud sound sometimes when running, this maybe a suspect in my fuel problem, the car is cutting out and displaying the engine management light which will start again immediatly but i have to turn the car over for a long time and it will eventually start, at this stage i have had a diagnostic of low fuel pressure so i was told to replace the lift pump in the tank which has not cured the problem has anyone got any ideas what the problem is.

  Can anyone advise please. I have removed a Lucas diesel fuel injector pump - I have locked the engine at TDC as prescribed by the manual. I am puzzled by the pundits who suggest inserting 2 bolts through the fuel pump sprocket to 'lock the fuel pump in position' .
