I have just bought a 98 p38 diesel, 118k which ran on eff knows what.
After removing tank and emptying a mix of veg, house oil, diesel ( rouge) & what smells like petrol. We reinstalled. Put fresh derv in tried it. Wouldn't start. After a load of cranking, a scoosh of easy start it ran not bad. Switched off. Went back when cold. Won't start. Same again loads of cranking a scoosh of easy start ran okay. Idles at about 950rpm though, then the revs climb to about 1200 and down again intermittently.
Hopefully the lift pump in tank is kaput and idler valve faulty. will investigate and clarify soon hopefully.
