• Renault scenic dynamique 2004 - No fuel getting to the engine? 14 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  after a mechanic told me they were the problem but still it won't switch on! Also noticed while testing a few other parts that no fuel was getting to the engine it was dry as a bone!

  I have a fuel leak coming from under the filler pipe leading to the fuel tank. Hard to see exactly where from but it looks like it's coming from some way up the pipe leading to the filler cap. It's not gushing (yet!) just a constant drip. It leaks when I fuel it and when driving but stops when i
• VW TDI misfire solved! 14 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  , as the engine had cut to default mode once or twice and been restored to normal by fiddling with the connector. BUT, seeing bubbles in the fuel line made me think the misfiring had another cause, air in the fuel I could find no fue leaks and so was baffled. Then I thought "airlock in fuel tank? - no, surely

• n/a - E85 ethanol versus neat petrol test. 21 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  How does E85 ( 85% ethanol - 15% petrol) stack up on a properly conducted test versus neat petrol? E85 is no longer widely available in the UK. As this test was carried out in the USA in 2009 the fuel price comparison is almost certainly not valid, but the consumption

• Peugeot 307 2l hdi 2004 - Fuel gauge not registering refils 3 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  . However, and I expect this is just a coincidence, the fuel gauge is playing up. After completely refilling after the petrol went in, the gauge read just under full when it usually points to just over full. After abot 60 miles I refilled again to maximise the dilution and the gauge didn't
