|
|
Unfortunately I recently put £20 of petrol in my diesel Isuzu trooper 2002, on advice from others I then filled up with just over £50 in diesel and was advised it may smoke and spluttee a bit but should be ok!! Since doing this it starts first time in the morning when cold but when trying to start it again once warm it is struggling, the engine is turning over but taking a while to fire. I still have 1/4 of a tank left as trying to empty it before filling up again. Probably a silly question but do you think the petrol is the problem here or could it be something else going on?
Any advice would be appreciated before I put it in the hands of the garage, thanks |

fill up again and try it, if it's still the same then get it to a garage but make sure they know what they are working on and their snap on scanner won't read much |
