Before all the repairs the mechanic emptied your tank (and saved the contents which can now be tested) and cleaned out all the fuel lines.

The vehicle was filled with good fuel and it still refused to start? So the mechanic did stuff to make sure there was a fuel flow and it was getting to the injectors - mechanical sort of stuff.

Still no go so the pump was rebuilt and it now works.

It appears to me that something was damaged.

Get the fuel tested and stat dec from the mechanic about what he did.

When it comes back (fuel test) and assuming the results say what you have should never be put in a diesel motor then go back to the servo.

Diesels can run on just about anything.

Of course it may be a coincidence and something did fail just after filling the vehicle.

Get the name of the attendant you bought the fuel from as well as the one who said there had been no complaints.

Was it a branded fuel station or an owner operated one?

If you are considering trying to get your money back you probably have a bit of a process to go through

good luck

Geoff
