  I have had 1.9tdi diesel from new, just filled the tank with disel which "leaked" over the garage forecourt. This problem only occurs when the tank is filled up and not when it is partially filled. I have had the seal on the fuel pump replaced but it hasn't resolved the problem.
• Tesco fuel thread. 1 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Point made - that's why its locked now. People can't seem to grasp simple concepts as to what happened - from the way I read it it was fuel being delivered on people's credit card (paying at pump) so cash payers weren't affected - chunks of this thread will be removed shortly and the thread re

  Just found (by smell) another petrol leak on my 1996 320i. On inspecting the hoses on the top of the fuel pump housing, I found 1 inch depth of petrol around and on top of the head of the fuel pump. The manufactures original joint was leaking on the larger of the two hoses. I think this hose links
• small diesels - actual fuel consumption 3 May 2006 (Forum)
  Not wanting to take manufacturers figures at face value, I was was wondering what actual fuel consumption the new small 1.3/1.4/1.5 diesels are returning, also under what driving conditions.

  Fuel cost graph on tonights channel 4 news showed a price of $1.75 a gallon on the day before the huricane had now risen to oapprox $2.50, still cheap by UK standards.

• Saab 900 Fuel Pump - Part No. 30 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Does anybody know the Bosch part number for the fuel pump for a 1988 Saab 900i 8valve? Mine is on it's last legs and I need to replace it.
