So I'm back on the road. Car is running fine so far, 20lt of diesel sat in my garage in an old home brewing keg and I'm only £50 (cash) worse off 😉
Next question then, how easy it it to change a fuel filter? Can this be done by a novice or is it a job for the pro's?
Hasn't got one.

Eh? How does it filter fuel then, or does it not?
Anything else I should be doing then to keep car running smooth or is it just a case of driving it to see if it keeps going?

Generally easy, but sometimes requires some specialist whim whams to charge up the fuel system after you fit the new one.
£20 on a haynes manual would be cheap insurance at this point.

The second one, if the cat or O2 sensor has been damaged you'll know about it soon enough from the warning light.
hora - MemberIF it does bugger your cat
I could just about put up with £150 to fix the car, but violating the family pet too? No, that would not do.
The tank sender/pump has a gauze that's it !!! no Peugeot / citroen petrol engine in the last 10 years has one for UK/Europe spec cars
Would three bottle of this shoved in help?
some good ideas here
All of which are redundant, because it's a problem which has been solved (by Ford at least). On the diesel Mondeo I had, the filler had a ring around the edge which had to be pushed open to release the internal filler cap. A diesel nozzle is the right size to open the ring, the smaller petrol nozzle isn't wide enough and so the flap remains sealed. You also get a funnel in the boot the same size as a diesel nozzle so you can defeat the mechanism if you visit another country.
I'm quite proud that I managed to type that paragraph without using the words 'girth' and 'sphincter'.
i wondered the same Hora. Chrisdiesel to the forum!
Well everytime I put an old car in for a MOT I used to chuck two bottles in and rag it. There must be some science behind the product and even if it was only part effective- it still helps?
