After Using dirty diesel knock from engine what is it??
#1
Hey, i put in dirty diesel into my van by mistake and ever since my van has not been the same, i have 04 1.9 straight, since i put it in, the symptoms first started when my van started to heg, and spluttering trying to keep power, my engine noise went really bad as in a really bad diesel knock, van would start spluttering again and then it would sound normal, drive for a few miles then it would all happen again, i used dipetane in my fuel system, that helped the hegging and spluttering, but the diesel knock has not gone away, its a real loud knocking coming from the engine, any ideas on what would be the problem, i looked at my diesel filter that looks good as new..

any help appreciated

I don't know of Dipetane or green diesel.Is it the equivalent of our red? I am asking to find out why the fuel was dirty.Confusedcratch:

im from ireland if that help Smile , dipetane is like a flush to put into the fuel system, green diesel is just used for tractors, (agri-diesel), think its like red but its green over here, the fuel was dirty because green diesel is dirty diesel and the only reason i used it as i ran out of diesel, i used some of that diesel as it was handy for my instead of going to petrol station filling up a gallon, as petrol station is about 10 or 11 miles from were i was that night.

I think your problem came from when you ran out of white and pulled all the crud from the bottom of the tank through the pipes in to the filter so a new filter plus a good long bleed it can take some time to get the crud out

ok fair point. but would that make the engine to change noise from normal to like a for transit for all sakes is the way to describe it, and when its all cleared will the tranny noise go away and be back to normal again??

You may have ingested water so your tank needs a clean, given that. Best to change filter to reduce the amount of scum, gunk. and a fungus that grows on the inside of the tank that you can suck up. This can cause blocked injectors so explains the rough running.
