- Being in a hurry or flustered

Presence of water in fuel is yet another issue
Presence of water in fuel is another thing which can make your car behave in the way explained above. Hence you also have to consider it. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.
A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that lowers the air pollution of the engine. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of appropriate ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank mounted somewhere. If someone isn't aware of this and tries to add it directly into the tank, it will create problems. You will start to notice the same symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it.

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Wednesday and we were en route to help an older woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Methley. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down on a backwater lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it several days ago when my former one, which I had owned for in excess of 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely woman!
