Issues in the fuel system may not only due to incorrect fuel in the vehicle. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your vehicle to run poorly and ultimately stop altogether. Regardless of what kind of fuel you utilize, may it be petrol or diesel, the outcomes and signs of water contamination to your engine are the same.
The running of the engine is usually improved utilizing a diesel system additive known as AdBlue. But it can only be used by individuals who know how to use it appropriately. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your vehicle. To avoid any issues, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank.

Wrong Fuel in Car Moor Edge - Petrol in Diesel Car Moor Edge
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and we were on my way to help an older woman who put petrol in her diesel Moor Edge. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a rural lane on route to visit her godchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a week ago after my other one, which I had owned for in excess of 25 years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful woman!

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:
- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
- 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.

If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
- Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
