Hi to you all have a question, looking for options. I have a 2.8 diesel that has had the fuel tank filled with unleaded fuel and driven till started running "funny" says the wife, towed home drained tanks and fuel system changed filters bled system started fine and running ok BUT has lack of power ????? Not a mechanic but pretty handy any ideas to improve situation.

Petrol does NOT lubricate the injector pump. It's prob dead. imjectors won't be far behind it. All else prob ok. Govt refuses to legislate unswappable filler nozzels for fuel pumps, so you HAVE to be careful what fuels your vehicle. It's an expensive and common error.
