  • 1998 astra 2.0 dti - Fuel leaks around fuel filter 22 Mar 2012 (Forum)

  • Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 1998 2.5 Air in fuel line 3 Feb 2015 (Forum)
    I have a diesel engine. I have noticed that the fuel line from the fuel tank to the engine (going through the fuel filter) every morning (or after a few hours sitting) no longer has fuel in it, and won't start, it just keeps trying to start but not catching (becuase there is no fuel in the engine).
  • 530ds e39 - air in fuel line 15 Oct 2011 (Forum)
    i have air in my fuel line and full tank of fuel any ideas fuel pump seems to be pumping ok
  • Pug 306 diesel, fuel temp regulator 29 Jul 2005 (Forum)
    My guess is that the fuel regulator when cold, shuts off the flow to the fuel heater circuit. As the coolant temperature rises, it opens the fuel heater circuit gradually mixing the colder fuel with the hot fuel (rather like a mixer tap).
  • 2011 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Sport Hatchback - Fuel filling problem with easy fuel 3 Apr 2018 (Forum)
    The fueling noozle  starts clicking as well if try to fill at normal speed. Can you change the fuelling system or do we need to stick it on diagnostics as someone said it may be due to a previous theft of fuel from vehicle and them removing easy fuel cap.
  • Peugeot 406 - Fuel problems 2.0 HDI 110bhp 7 Jun 2016 (Forum)
    Just wondering have i managed to get air into the system ? if so how do you bleed the fuel system ? or is their a fuel solenoid somewhere between the tank and fuel rack ?? Any help is very much appreciated, Gaz O.
  • Honda FR-V - Honda Diesel Engine - Fuel filter and fuel pump 4 Dec 2011 (Forum)
      Could the independent have caused the problem (not installed the fuel filter correctly and the pump having to work too hard to circulate the fuel?).  Could "replacement of fuel pump" be a lazy diagnosis?  Is the fuel pump failing a known fault in the Honda diesel system?
  • Volvo V50 se diesel - fuel quality 9 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    I've recently changed from Tesco fuel to Shell fuel. I now have a much quieter engine and better mpg.Any reason for this?Is Shell fuel that much better and Why?
  • ford galaxy mk3 diesel - suspected fuel pump failure 29 Jun 2020 (Forum)

  • Petrol engined cars which prefer RON 98 fuel - Is 'premium fuel' as premium as it used to be? 25 Feb 2018 (Forum)
    I occasionally treat the uberwagen to a tankful of 'premium' fuel in the probably mistaken belief that it will spring clean the injectors and 'do the engine good'. (I have previously proved that the percentage better fuel consumption is considerably less than the percentage increase in price from 'regular'  RON 95 fuel).
  • Ford Fiesta 2005 TDCi 1.4 - Air in Fuel system 26 Dec 2011 (Forum)
    I have to prime fuel into the car before it will start, once it started its OK, on the hoses that go into the engine I can see bubbles proir to priming (hand pumb) fuel into the pipes. I took the car to a specialised, he replace the fuel filter, replace the fuel pipes and primer, checked the fuel tank and pipes - but the problem is still there - he seems very baffled by it.
  • 2006 1.9dci Laguna - 2006 Laguna Fuel Injection Problems 26 May 2011 (Forum)
    My Laguna comes up with Injection fault everytime the fuel gauge reaches the top of the red section of the fuel gauge when the fuel is getting low. When the fuel is above this the car goes great without any problems which leads me to think that there is nothing wrong with the injectors and that there must be some other fault causing this.
  • Fuel Card 15 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    I use fleet vehicles and I have to pay for my own fuel, am I entitled to a fuel card?
  • Saving fuel: Car vs House 2 Oct 2008 (Forum)
    However, when heating fuel prices go up, we hear much agonising about ?fuel poverty?. Surely ?fuel poverty? is simply another way of saying ?people becoming more environmentally responsible because of economic pressures??
  • Ford Fiesta 1.4 Duratec 04 - Fuel gauge and fuel tank problems 1 Aug 2011 (Forum)
    Now I've started having problems filling the car with fuel (the petrol fuel pump clicks off, at alot of different petrol stations), now I know that it sounds like  its a full tank and problems with the fuel gauge, I may have lost count of how much fuel I have put in, but I can assure you that this is not the case I believe there is about 1/4 of a tank in there.

  • Comparison of brands of Petrol/Diesel 24 May 2003 (Forum)
    There are all sorts of claims that Shell fuel gives 5-10% more miles than generic supermarket. Given that fuel is sold by volume (litres), I presume there must be some quantifiable difference in these fuels in terms of density or energy content?
  • Bio-Fuel in diesel 24 Sep 2008 (Forum)
    Does anyone know if the 2 1/2 % of bio-fuel thats now in all fuels acts as a lubricant in diesel?
  • Dual Fuel Metro 11 May 2007 (Forum)
