Things to search for in case you have put incorrect fuel in car
the symptoms of wrong fuel are evident, but in most cases you might not be able to observe all of them. If your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your car starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your vehicle comes to a stop, then you can suspect that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.
That experience of filling up your tank with the wrong fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be cautious in the future. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- Not focusing - being on autopilot
- You're using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.
Presence of water in fuel is yet another thing which can make your car behave in the manner discussed above. Hence you also need to consider it. You should be aware 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.
Wrong usage of AdBlue can also cause your engine to sputter, stop or produce a lot of smoke. Fortunately you have us, so you have absolutely nothing to be worried about. The incorrect ratio of this fuel additive which is utilized to enhance the working of the engine can result from being added directly along with fuel instead of utilizing its own automatic dosing system and tank. You should thus just use it if you are fully aware of its procedure so as to prevent your car from misbehaving due to the wrong usage of AdBlue. But we are capable of helping you embark on your journey no matter if the issue is wrong fuel or AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Micklefield - Fuel Rescue Micklefield
I'm not actually overly enthusiastic about running Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just left home after a lovely roast made for me by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman because he put the wrong petrol in his Micklefield. He was stationed nearby thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I drove up right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted some damage simply by starting it?" I determined generally there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained right away for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus one more content client could continue on his ride without hassle. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays just that little bit easier for me personally!
