• Citroen Xsara Picasso (2000 - 2010) - 04 1.6 Hdi Non-starter P0087, P1113, P1351 19 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  But still wouldn't start. I added a gallon of fresh diesel and bled some out of the bottom of the Delphi fuel filter which looked perfect. It fired up for a few seconds then died again. I guess the P0087 & P1113 codes mean a fault in the HP pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors or HP fuel sensor on the common rail.

• Mercedes CLK 2001 model year. - Mercedes CLK 200 Kompressor W208 loss of power 19 Mar 2022 (Forum)
  The car has been losing power lately. I put some petrol in at an independent petrol retailer, and the mechanic I now use thinks the fuel might have been contaminated. The fuel filter has been changed as a precaution. I ran the fuel tank nearly dry and filled up with BP super unleaded, but it hasn’t made much difference   There are not warning lights or codes to go by.

• Skoda Octavia Estate - A difficult decision to make 8 Apr 2021 (Forum)

• Ford Focus - Misfuel - Diesel in Petrol Car ( 9 May 2016 (Forum)
   I am disputing this the company as the Branch Manager agree it is his fault , but say it is still my mistake. Also in the contract I signed as nothing mentioned on the on type of fuel car it was given to me.   But now , I am not sure what damage it has happened. AS far I have seen all forums says, car should be  fuel drained as Disesl will act a lubricant and car will need to throughly cleaned and flushed out of Disesl and will be ready to run.
