I once poured a petrol that was mixed with diesel, the car started cutting off while moving as much as I press the accelerator it powers off. I drained the diesel mixed petrol changed the plugs and moved almost 100 km but now it's back to that same problem.

Hi,

This model isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

In addition to draining the tank, did you replace the fuel filter, and blow out the fuel line and injectors? It sounds like the mixture is still present in the engine. If you didn't clean the lines, filter, and injectors, that is still present.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
