• Why no digital fuel gauge yet? 29 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  In most cars I drove, I observed following trend with fuel gauge. When full tank, the needle moves very slowly from F mark. Once near half-way mark, it moves much faster. At a quarter tank full level, it movest to E at a very fast pace! So, the movement is not linear all the way from F to E
• Vauxhall Corsa B (1993 - 2000) - 95 1.4 - No fuel getting to engine 15 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I've got a 95 1.4 swing no fuel getting to engine. Has been cutting out intermitantly for a few months. Sometimes drives 200 yards then cuts out, always been able to start it again, but now it stopped and won't start. I have a spark, poured some petrol down the inlet and cranked the engine
• Total fuel: Free breakdown assistance 11 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Noticed this article in the Telegraph recently: buy 30 litres of fuel and get 14 day's breakdown cover. It seems to be one of the better 'free' offers around. Telegraph: http://tinyurl.com/mgo8bp Total's site: http://tinyurl.com/lpyo3g I first came across this offer earlier

• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - Spare parts prices 21 May 2009 (Forum)
  I've just had to buy a new fuel filler hose elbow for SWMBO 306. This rather insignificant piece of fuel proof hose is basically a 2" bore 90 degree rubber bend, that joins the fuel filler pipe to the fuel tank. I'm not complaining that this part is needed as the car is almost 10 years old
• Ford Focus III (2008 - ) - 08 1.8 Fuel Gauge Not Moving After Filling. 26 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Hi just to let you know that if your fuel gauge does not show a full tank after filling to the brim, making sure to remember not to pull the nozzle out and put that little squirt extra in to round the numbers up (stupid capless filling making a mess on the forecourt), it is probably due to the fuel
• Speedsters galore, fuel must be too cheap 4 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  fuel prices must be still way too cheap for such drivers. Don't these drivers give a toss about the safety of other roads users as they speed past other vehicles that are travelling considerably slower ? Don't they care about conserving fuel for the future and reducing air pollution if they reduce
• 2P per litre fuel discount 22 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  I recently got the sad news that my GE Money Everyday card that gives 3% cashback on fuel is being discontinued so have been hunting around for something to replace it. Most of you may have already noticed this, but if you buy fuel at Asda and pay with an Asda credit card, you get 2p per litre off
• Rev an engine before switching off? 12 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Not sure that I entirely agree with HJ?s comment in the DT today, in response to a letter from DS HJ says that one should not rev an engine before switching off because it will leave the cylinders flooded with fuel. However with regard to a modern fuel injected normally aspirated petrol engine
• citroen c3 water in fuel warning 25 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I have a recurrent fault on my 52 registered 1.4hdi c3. Over the past year on 3 occasions the fuel gauge starts to constantly flash. I read in the handbook that it is a warning to say water has been detected somewhere in the fuel system. By the time I manage to get it booked into the garage
• Vauxhall Vectra B facelift (1999 - 2002) - 99 DTI fuelling problem 22 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Hi guys, Just bought a stolen recovered one of the above. Ignition was knackered so it has been replaced and chipped back to the ECU. Problem is i have no fuel being lifted from the tank. I also have no fault codes so i assume all parts are ok including the fuel pump. The vehicle has been sitting
• Rover 220sdi air in fuel system 6 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I've recently been having problems starting my car which I believe to be due to air getting into the fuel system. The AA man who came out after I'd worn the battery down trying to start it remarked that there was no fuel in the filter and so he had to prime it. On priming it myself I notice
• Renault Clio Fuel Leak 6 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I was driving along today, went round a corner and my car lost power. The person behind flashed me and got out of his car to tell me that fuel was pouring from the underside of my car. I can't see where it's coming from and it only comes out when the engine is on. The car is a 1998 Clio 1149cc

• Windfall tax just causing more fuel price rises? 31 May 2022 (Forum)
  I noticed yesterday the fuel prices at my local Shell station were 173.9 and 184.9, but today they had gone up even higher to 175.9 and 186.9. It looks like the energy companies are trying to pass on the windfall tax to the consumers, rather than their share holders, what a surprise! (not).
