That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be cautious in the future. You'll want to look back at what exactly are the potential causes of why it happened.

Presence of water in fuel is another issue
A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. You should be aware that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.
The running of the engine is commonly enhanced utilizing a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. But it can only be utilized by people who know how to use it appropriately. If not, your car will start behaving badly. To avoid any issues, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is very high especially if done by someone with no knowledge in this.
Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the vehicle not running perfectly and eventually stopping. Fortunately, you have us.
