  • Fuel made from air! 18 Jun 2018 (Forum)
    In the same (as the Rolls Cullinan) June issue of Car magazine there was an interesting article regarding the progress of attempts to make fuel from air. This is done through removing the CO2 from the atmosphere in a process called Direct Air Capture. The general points are, 1 Banks
  • Jaguar X-Type Estate (2004 - 2007) - 04 2.0D Engine cuts out..... 20 Oct 2017 (Forum)
    My brother has a Jaguar X-Type 2.0 diesel. Just last week it cut out and he thought it had run out of fuel because it was low. He filled it up and it started straight away. He thought that was that until it happened again after about 25 miles. The engine cut out and would not re-start. He cranked
  • All makes and models - Possibly the end of the fuel debate? 20 Mar 2017 (Forum)
    Afternoon all - last week i picked up a tanker driver from the grangemouth refinary where he collects fuel for shell and formally BP. I thought he would be the perfect man to talk to about different fuels and indeed he was! We spent the entire taxi journey taking about the fuels and I
  • Vauxhall Zafira dti - Starting issue when left over night facing uphill 13 Jun 2014 (Forum)
    Hello, I have a zafira 2.0 dti 1999 model. When it is left facing uphill over night it doesn't seem to want to start in the morning too the point where the battery goes flat, I presume the fuel is draining back to the tank due to a air leak. I have changed the leak off pipes (but not the t-pieces
  • Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - 2.0 diesel -fuel warning light and remaining miles 10 Dec 2007 (Forum)
    I have had my Mazda6 2.0 diesel since late October. This week I let the fuel run lower than usual before re-filling (waiting for my fuel card but that's another story)... ... so it had got down to below a quarter of a tank with the "miles remaining" readout heading to single digits. All fine

  • Fuel Injection 20 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    Have a nissan pulsar with fuel injection. Seems when I start her in the morning and drive, it is fine. I turn it off and go do what I need to do and get back in the car, she won\'t start. Sounds like she is flooded. A friend told me to try to use a pair of vice grips to pinch the fuel line, go
  • Cost per litre? - Fuel Duty 15 Sep 2018 (Forum)
    From the HJ article.   "Aside from the fact that petrol and diesel in the UK are subject to some of the highest levels of taxation anywhere in Europe" Misleading or what? It isn't JUST the taxation that matters, it is also the fuel staion margins. See the price

  • MITSIBUSHI L200 2004 - REPLACING FUEL FILTER ON DIESEL VEH. 28 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    How do I disconnect the wiring on the fuel filter to be able to unscrew it, also is there a special tool to grip the filter to unscrew it? It has a bracket very close to it making it difficult to get a normal oil filter strap on it.
  • Recent fuel price rises gone and forgotten 21 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    Just as I thought would happen, recent fuel price rises have ceased to become a topic of conversation. What will be the next thing for motorists to grumble about? In fact, what's the current thing ~ apart from the despicable morals of franchised dealers?

    The dealer from whom we bought the used-vehicle is recommending we keep up with the 6 monthly fuel system cleaner treatment at 12.99/time. Is it worth it?
