  • Jet Fuel 3 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    I have read articles about the quality of various brands of fuel and the whys and wherefores of using the premium versions of some brands, (shell optimax, bp premium, etc) but I have not seen reference to JET fuel brand. I presume that this is better than supermarket fuel as it contains some

  • Any - Costco Fuel 29 Sep 2019 (Forum)
    Not wanting to start another supermarket vs branded fuel debate, but I’ve just fuelled up at Costco for 123.7 per litre for their Premium Diesel. I’ve no idea if there is a legal definition of what is premium so far as fuel is concerned, but it’s still 4p per litre cheaper than my regular Tesco
  • Kia rio - Fuel economy takes a hit after servicing 21 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    I was wondering if other diesel drivers have noticed that after a service the fuel economy takes a hit. I would imagine that the oil has better lubriacting properties after it has carbonised a bit and that the new fuel filter would have an initial bit of resistance to fuel flow

  • Nissan Primera III ('99-'02) Fuel Gauge 4 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    The fuel gauge normally shows a totally incorrect reading, and I use the odometer to give me an idea of the level in the tank. I changed the fuel sender/float in the fuel tank but this has made no difference. There is probably a bad contact some where (you can sometimes see the gauge moving

  • 2013 Mazda 6 Diesel - Fuel not Registering/Fuel Line Issues 4 Mar 2019 (Forum)
    I recently (stupidly) ran the mileage down to zero on the digital gauge before I added diesel (I didn't think it would cause a huge issue as there's always some fuel in reserve, right?), added about 7 litres and the digital gauge remained at zero. I didn't think too much of this as I
