  and it's now done 115,000 miles.  I know it's impossible to tell the condition from the inside, but from the state of it on the outside would you say this fuel filter hasn't been changed in a LONG time?  Pic here... http://s17.postimg.org/ym71e2cf3/fuelfilter.jpg   I've

  I drive a 2007 2.0 diesel Sportage. 5000 miles / 4 months ago the water in fuel filter light started coming on occaisionally. I took it to the dealer who drained the fuel filter  (he said he could tell whether there was water in it or not). This didn't make any difference to the regularity

  Hi, I went to change the fuel filter on my 406 hdi 2.0 110 and in the haynes book it says that there is a drain screw on the front of the filter housing but when I looked at mine it isn't there? There is a hole with a female thread there but no screw inside it? I'm confused. If theres no drain

  and is a continual problem, Feels like a fuel problem, i do have thought might be a sensor problem as it feels like it cuts the engine and instantly return to normal as when it is fuel starvation the process is usally longer than seconds, In netural the car revs upto 3000 rpm and then sounds like its miss
• Does running your tank on empty cause problems ? 24 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  One of the economy tips given recently is keeping your tank low on fuel to save weight. I was telling someone this, and he recounted that famous motoring old wives tale that "running your tank on empty brings the muck out of the bottom of the fuel tank". Whilst I've heard it repeated many times
• '73 MG BGT - diagnose fuel gauge probs 20 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Hi folks Have a wonderful 1973 MGBGT - the fuel gauge has recently started dropping to "E" despite the tank being either full or partially empty. Since the dash & guage is easy to get at, I though I'd start there - assuming the fuel gauge is a simple volt meter, would anyone happen to know what
• Top fuel dragsters- how fast? 13 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Just been watching drag racing on TV (NHRA Drag Racing, Mondays 7pm Channel 5 US Freeview 35) where the fastest top fuels do 0-325mph in about 4.5 seconds over the 1/4 mile straight, side by side. Amazing- I would love to see Top Gear do a feature on this, especially if Richard Hammond chose to do
• Diesel Fuel Economy & Acetone 11 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Hello everyone, I run a high mileage (>140k) VW Passat 110 TDi and have never tried using additive such as Millers etc. (See previous topics) In September Roly93 mentioned adding 1ml of Acetone for each litre of diesel in a previous discussion thread. Sounds like a good, cheap fuel-saving tip

• Fast A2B car with good fuel range.Ideas? 13 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I travel to the Welsh borders a lot and fancy the idea of a Focus RS, Subaru Impreza, Lancer Evo type car. However, I am put off by reports that these type of cars have a limited fuel range. My round trip is 320 miles approx and having to fill up more than normal is a pain. Ideally, I would like

  Hi Everyone, I have had a problem with my Mercedes today, the first ever, where it would not start, the fuel pump ( electric ) was not running, so I took a live feed from the battery to the pump, and it started without a problem, and continued to run fine and restarted, even after I removed
• Fuel pump auto delivery & cut off 13 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Maybe this has been covered before, if so sorry but forum search revealed nothing. (No doubt DD will prove me wrong) Considering the litigious nature of some countries and safety nanny paranoid state of others, (USA, Scandinavia spring to mind) why is it that in these places you can set fuel pumps

  I have recently been experiencing really hesitant acceleration on my '97 Corsa (1.2l 8V single-point fuel injection). Throttle response has really deteriorated and has got to the point where I can sometimes floor the throttle and get zero rise in engine revs! It usually happens when I get back
