Presence of water in fuel is another problem
A sputtering engine with very low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.
In order to boost the cleanliness of modern diesel engines exhausts today, owner uses AdBlue. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If you hire someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the right procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine.

- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

A woman driving nearby contacted us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel Carlton and, like many people before her, believed that she would be able to basically fill up her tank with diesel and it would be fine. The vehicle was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in one hour whilst she was at work. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you repaired my vehicle."
