I don't know since I have the same issue that I am working on. Will attempt a start this afternoon. My Volvo 2002 has not been started for 12 years and I went thru a process of determining what should be done. This is what I've done:
- Pulled tank and cleaned all the gunk out of it. Reinstalled and put new fuel in.
- Replace all filters as well as the water impeller. (make sure you fill filters with fuel)
- Fresh oil
- clean and oil air filter (engine needs clean air, fuel)
Will crank engine with engine stop pulled and with decompression level on.
Wish me luck!

Where is the fuel filter on a 2002 powerstroke diesel engine?
The 2002 should be the same engine as my 2000. Pull off the plastic cover over the top of the engine. There will be a canister with a black plastic lid sitting in the center of the engine towards the back. Make sure that you put the o-ring in the right direction or you will have diesel all over the place when you start it.

What happens when you add a little petrol in diesel engine tank?
Adding even a small amount of petrol to a diesel engine tank can cause serious damage to the engine. Diesel engines rely on the lubricating properties of diesel fuel to keep components such as the fuel pump and injectors running smoothly. Petrol, however, has much lower lubricity and acts as a solvent. When introduced into a diesel system, it reduces the lubrication, causing metal parts to grind against each other, which can lead to premature wear or even catastrophic failure. Additionally, diesel fuel ignites through compression rather than a spark. Petrol is more volatile and can ignite too early, disrupting the combustion process. This can cause knocking, misfiring, and increased engine temperatures, potentially damaging pistons, valves, and the fuel injection system. If petrol is accidentally added to a diesel tank, the engine should not be started. The contaminated fuel must be drained completely, and the fuel system should be flushed to prevent long-term damage. At PETRO Industrial (petroinddotcom), we emphasize the importance of correct fuel storage and handling to prevent cross-contamination. Proper labeling, staff training, and using color-coded dispensing systems can significantly reduce the risk of such costly mistakes. Always double-check before refueling any vehicle or equipment.
