Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only reason for engine problems. Such signs as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious problem that can totally damage the fuel filters.

You can also notice the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's exactly why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the right place to put it.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.

I'd had a great afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling contented the next day as I headed out to help a young family on holiday. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their Fawkham Green, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so silly. "How could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this happens on daily basis and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he all the same had an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
