Ducato 2.3 1.8 2020 globecar (1 Viewer)

Hello , first trip this year ,
Camper started to run like a pig , no warning lights , loss of power under load , managed to get to Glastonbury from Shropshire.
Checked on line for perhaps some ideas , the only thing I've found is about winter and summer diesel , the van filled up in July , used a quarter tank , and topped up on the way ,

The difference between Summer and Winter diesel is for the winter version there is an addition of a component that stops (or delays) what is known as waxing which is the thickening when freezing.
Mixing the two should cause no problem unless in real sub zero temperatures, I'd guess you need to look elsewhere for your problems.
Perhaps first look at the actual fuel filter for partial blockage.
What model and year of base vehicle would be a help. Just noticed you say that in the header!

Might be worth checking the air filter housing for mice nests.
Do you have any dash warning lights on ?
After that I think you'd need a reader to check for fault codes.
The campsite may know of a local mobile mechanic ?

I'd be looking around the turbo and associated pipework, possibly a stuck waste gate or jammed up nozzle vanes or a split vacuum pipe/defective solenoid to the turbo ?
