Hi,

Had my 1.3 doblo recovered last night.

Due to the lack of diesel available I used a Jerry can of the diesel from work that we take out of vehicles at the end of lease before they get sent back.

As soon as I pulled away it took off like a rocket. I stalled it after about 5 seconds of it running away then got it recovered .

I’m really apprehensive about starting it up again incase I can’t stall it.

Is there anything I can do before I start it ?

Thankyou

Is there any chance the fuel you added from a jerry can was petrol? Or contaminated with petrol?

How much fuel was in tank before you added fuel from jerry can? How much did you add from jerry can?

That’s what I’m thinking, the tank was empty and I used one full Jerry can. It happened straight away so I think there must of been some petrol contamination.

If I could get diesel from a station I’d get some to try and clean it up but you can’t get any around here atm
