Noting all of the above, I suppose you'll be careful in your next stop at the fuel station to refill. From now on, be aware of those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your car:
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- You are using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
Presence of water in fuel is yet another thing which can make your vehicle behave in the manner discussed above. Hence you also need to consider it. It does not matter whether your car utilizes diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also pay attention to it.
The running of the engine is generally improved using a diesel system additive known as AdBlue. But it can only be utilized by people who know how to use it properly. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your car. To avoid any troubles, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. The probability of misusing AdBlue is pretty high especially if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.
Such a problem is also indicated by the vehicle not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. The great thing is that we are here to help.
