What to consider if you have put wrong fuel in car
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may start experiencing some signs but you might not be able to catch them all. Nevertheless, if you were driving a vehicle, and abruptly you notice that your car is giving off excessive smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power slowly regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and eventually comes to a halt, then there is little doubt that you are dealing with a wrong fuel in your car issue.
Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be very careful in your next stop at the petrol station to refill. From now on, consider those common causes of putting the incorrect fuel in your car:
- You are in a circumstance where you are confused while in a hurry
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- You are using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.
You should keep in mind that the contamination of fuel by water is another problem that can cause similar signs described above. It does not matter whether your car uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also pay attention to it.
To be able to boost the cleanliness of modern diesel engines exhausts today, owner makes use of AdBlue. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is essential, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If you get someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the right procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. You will start observing the same signs mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. Here's our personal message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll be your helping hand at any time of the day, wherever you are".
