The fact that you now know the signs of wrong fuel in vehicle or have experienced it, it will help you notice the problem if it happens again in future. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on various things and letting the autopilot do all of it particularly when driving a car that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired vehicle is discouraged.
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 indicators of water contamination. It does not matter whether your vehicle runs on diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run with less pollution. But it can only be utilized by people who know how to use it properly. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your vehicle. To avoid any troubles, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. When somebody who is inexperienced in administering AdBlue correctly, it is very common that they miss the mark.

Wrong Fuel in Car Low Fold - Petrol in Diesel Car Low Fold
What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and I was en route to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel Low Fold. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a country road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only acquired it a few days back when my former car, which I'd had for over twenty years, eventually stopped working". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely lady!
