soutie Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 have a 110 with a 200tdi retro fitted by the stealers that has about 150,000 miles on it. Recently went up to Billing and the engine was pulling fine. I need to fill up about 20 miles from the Billing. On leaving on Sunday the engine was down on power. I pulled into the services and the engine was surging when idling. I have drained the fuel filter thinking there was water in it, but this has not resolved the problem. The diesel that came out was very clear and did not have the characteristic reek of diesel. Does anybody know where to start looking to resolve the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soutie Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 I went down to the fuel station today. 15 litres of non BP diesel and some Redex and the surging has gone. I can only put it down to a dodgy fuel. What is the difference between the BP stuff and the other's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the difference between the BP stuff and the other's? Slightly off topic, but I went to a track evening at brands Hatch a few years ago on the VFR (it's a motorbike) and filled up on the top road garage about a couple miles from Brands. The garage had just been refurbished, new pumps and tanks, shiney new shop........................... Got 100 yds down the road and the VFR stopped, if you know your Honda's this does NOT happen. Anyway an hour and half later and fuel drained out on a very friendly locals front drive, well more water than fuel, I set-off to Brands via the garage. Guy behind the desk was from somewhere foreign and was completely incomprehensible and he was bigger than me, person I'm not that keen on! Got to Brands just in time to see my slot going round the track so I lost me £140 as well! Double person I'm not that keen on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
