• Fuel comp self calibration? - Ford S-max 13 May 2007 (Forum)
  Can you self-calibrate the fuel computer on a ford S-Max. Mine is about 15% optomistic and I know that you could self-calibrate the FC in the Mondeo's by using the two dials/steering wheel controls. If it can be done on an S-MAx, how? I know I can always deduct 15% off the claimed number
• Fuel economy 20 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Does anyone know where MSN cars get their fuel economy figures from? I ask as their figures for the Accord Tourer correspond exactly to what I (and many others) actually get, i.e. 41 mpg combined. This seems in contrast with the official figures, which suggest you'll get 48 combined and 57

• Primera won't start (Fuel system fault) 31 May 2005 (Forum)
  The car is a Nissan Primera (1994, 1.6lx), and it won't start. The engine turns over fine but does not fire up. The Fuse & relay test ok, and spraying some of that Quick start spray through the air filter inlet seems to make a difference. The obvious problem could be the Fuel pump, but does anyone
• Fuel gauges 10 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  How exactly do modern fuel gauges work? Presumably the simple system (do manufacturers still use it?) involves a float. I've read that Indy/F1 cars use something that measures the rate of flow from the tank and can therefore deduce how much remains. What about having the tank partially suspended
