I have bought a peugeot 306 LX (1998 reg) 47.000 on clock . It ran fine on test drive but was very nearly empty on fuel . i brought it home parked it on drive for 2 days whilst i sorted tax etc. I then drove it to garage put in =A340 petrol when i first opened tank cap I heard alot of 'gas' escape, I put the petrol and from the moment i tried to drive it back home it began to lose power , it shuddered and spluttered and kept stalling . on lifting the bonnet you could hear the drop in revs and then it picking up again , if you open the fuel tank you can hear a hiccuping noise whilst the car is running . has anyone come across this problem as the mechanic I called out said he had never heard it in any car in over 44 years on the job.
