E280 2008 v6 diesel
Hi All,

I am in need of some advice. I have a 2008 E280 diesel and this week I put some diesel in I was given and it turns out it was contaminated so I had fuel doctor out to drain the tank, I then put a new filter on it but it wouldn’t start. I sprayed a little easy start in and it fired up and run normal and didn’t miss a beat, I took it for a drive on the motorway near me to give it a clean out but once you turn it off it will not start without spraying easy start in and then it will run ok until you turn it off. Any ideas what to do next would be great thank you.

It will need new injectors most likely. Unless the engine is low mileage, I find they are intolerant of any real amounts of petrol and kill the high pressure pump and injectors when fed a petrol/diesel mix.
