Got a problem with my brothers berlingo van again. Basically it having problems starting and revs all over the spot. When he tries to set off it cuts out even if he applies loads of revs. My dad did put super unleaded in it a while back but done 300 plus miles after we topped it full of derv. Any ideas, it has the dw8 engine in.

Hdi's really don't like running large amounts of petrol though, I would have drained as much as possible out the tank and lines and so on

Either way not many diesels can cope with petrol going through
