A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. 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 usually enhanced using a diesel system additive known as AdBlue. But it can only be used by people who know how to use it appropriately.

Wrong Fuel in Car Shaw - Petrol in Diesel Car Shaw

A woman living nearby phoned us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled automobile to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Shaw and, like plenty before her, believed that she would be able to just top up her tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired within an hour whilst she was working. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad you repaired my car."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shaw - Fuel Rescue Shaw

I had a great evening golfing during the weekend and felt pleased the following day as I was en route to help a new family away. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Shaw, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her man off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem occurs on a regular basis and that it's actually nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Poor chap. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and pondered on what my wife would say to me if I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
