IMO, its a pain in the ass
u have to pump real slow...if any faster, it will spill
if full tank will take u a long long time

imma try next time..... ...see if it works
thx for the tip
PS am not very tall

So, if the hose is bigger then the hole... u need to rotate it around, and find an upside down angle to push it in? 

Oh, ok. If I were buying a recon car, I would also personally avoid diesel too since the diesel engine is not tuned to our crappy diesel.

Not sure how true is this but Euro 4 diesel is coming to our shores in 2015

Read a few articles about this Diesel Particulate Filter.

It's not so easy just to remove it right, as the fuel map etc may need to be re-adapted.

And from all diesel heads here, is it good or bad to have the DPF removed ?  Let say if we have Euro 4 diesel in MY.  I know now we have no choice but to remove it.

anybody here added tuning box(racechip, dtuk, vector, etc) to their diesel engine? apparently can gain quite alot of power.... but was told that may cause black smoke when we floor it.....

If performance is what you are after, you don't want a diesel. some people here don't even know what they are talking about apart from reading spec sheets. Diesel cars do not outrun people in highways, if a 50m stretch of city drag race is considered a race, yes, you can "smoke" people.

diesels are great for HIGHWAY, you get great FC, on par with hybrid really. Not on City. RM120 for 600km 100% city is NOTHING compared to a hybrid. Proper hybrid like HSD can do 600km in half the price. Another example of ignorant posting

Basically diesels are great for city drive with the torque, trying to challenge other petrol heads in a long stretch road is just pure ignorant of your own car. But FC wise diesel are much better at highway, while city is nothing to shout about really.

Don't believe what i posted? feel free to clarify via Mr Google.

Its a given as usually petrol cars comes with higher HP if cc being equal. But, how fast we wanna go on the highway? I usually dont push anything above 220.... if someone still coming at those speed i wont bother to push anymore, why bother push to 230/240/250... sure u can go... but the safety/risk ratio just went thru the roof.

So reckon anything above 200kmh is kinda a moot point.

went to genting yesterday with my turbo diesel..... effortless climb!!!! could climb easily at low rpm....

Diesel cars are acceptable nowadays in our country. HOWEVER, the supply of diesel is like a gamble. Sometime Ada, sometimes TAK Ada! More often, the supply is scarce when the month ends!

I thought of buying a diesel car because of its great FC but.... Finding diesel has put me off....

The noise is mainly there when you idle. Once moving it's rather refined, you won't hear the clatter. Using the entire powerband... not necessary in a diesel. Depends on the car of course, I find VW diesels to be rather... loud and unrefined, Ford is better, sounds more refined. BMW probably much better than that. In terms of driving I might prefer VW diesels though.

I agree with the 7-8 liter jchue73 got... diesels are very impressive on the highway, I managed to get 7-8 liter driving diesel MPVs (VW and Ford) with lots of weight inside the car, driving between 170 and 200. There is no way I could get near to that sort of consumption driving a petrol at those speeds. Not even in smaller, lighter and more aerodynamic cars.

Hm, but you do have plenty of torque. Honestly I'm fine with the diesel power band, at least with normal driving.

Is the clatter only there when idling?

direct injected petrol engines also sound clattery if you go listen carefully

I'm probably the best example of FC usage as I'm currently owning a Hybrid (Prius) and Diesel (Santa FE).

Santa Fe - Full tank - 800KM (Around RM 120 full tank-highway)
                              650KM (combined)
Prius - Full tank - 800KM (Around RM78 full tank-combined)

I like both cars very much! I use my Santa Fe for 5-7 people as I like to maintain 4 people in my Prius for comfort. Also cause the Santa Fe can easily carry many people without any effort due to its high torque.

I also use my Santa Fe for uphill climbing or for very heavy shopping loads (balik kampung heavy shopping). Carrying big stuffs is also a cinch and it is more comfortable than CRV (entire family compared my Sister-in-Law CRV's to my Santa Fe).

My point overall is, don't care whether Diesel or not as long as you know what are you using it for. I don't have issues filling up my diesel as long as you fill it up before end of the month. However, the feeling of effortless driving is great on highways and normal roads as long as you keep within its max Torque range. In the FC context, my overall FC is very very low since I'm driving 2 very frugal cars.

for diesel user, please use BHP or Caltex Diesel since only this 2 mention that their diesel comes with additives.

else like petronas, shell, Mobil, Techron all only give additives only for Petrol.
