• How to use the least fuel in a set period? 4 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  While driving my recently born baby boy round to settle him down, I started wondering how to use the least fuel while keeping the car moving. I'm not interested in the mpg, just in limiting the fuel used. We have some quiet estate roads where I live where it's safe to put the car into 1st

• Fuel filter change - 1.8D Fiesta 1996 2 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  How difficult is it to change the fuel filter on a 96 Endura engined 1.8 diesel Fiesta?

• Fuel comparison tests 15 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  In the latest Jan. 2006 Evo magazine, there is an article on comparison tests on 8 different brands of petrol, including supermarket fuels. They used a Golf GTI and a BMW M5 and did rolling road tests to get power/torque figures, and on-road "driving feel" tests. Makes quite interesting reading
• Petrol can vs diesel - any difference? 28 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  I'm sure this a really stupid question for those that know the answer (but it's always that way though!), but is there any technical difference between the 'cans'? Apart from the very obvious potential for putting the wrong fuel in an engine, is there any difference between the green plastic

• VAT receipts when buying fuel 17 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Is there a (legal?) reason why a 'VAT receipt' must be specifically asked for when paying for fuel? I need to keep them for my book-keeping, and have occasionally forgotten one. Why can't the VAT element be shown on the receipt normally issued?
