The 406 makes its own diesel

Post by FarmerPug »

I have no scientific proof but i think my car makes its own diesel as some way of compensating for very high fuel consumption, eg i did 100 miles and the gague went to half, then the car created more diesel and filled itself back up. At 400 miles the gague was on the last nick, now the car again has created more diesel and is at half, the trip computer said 80 miles before now 270. Who needs vegetable oil when the Hdi makes its own diesel.
Ill have to buy a pump and drain the excess diesel this car is making, bleeding nuisance.

More likely its giving a faulty reading,

it was on reserve light when iput it in and idone 158 miles still some left ..warmer weather making it cheaper to run perhaps, :|
