Signs of incorrect fuel
Signs of incorrect fuel are quite evident, but in most cases you might not be able to notice all of them.

Now that you are aware of the signs of wrong fuel in a car, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more cautious in future and be certain of not making the mistake. Engaging in mistakes such as speeding, concentrating on different things and allowing the autopilot do it all particularly when driving a car that you are unfamiliar with for instance a borrowed or hired car is discouraged.
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
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 vehicle uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also know about it.
Diesel engines (modern ones) in these days make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollution in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank attached somewhere. If you get someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. The symptoms you will notice is the same as what were stated above but don't panic we get it fixed. Just keep in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for assistance and we'll be there".

A motorist who had put unleaded in his diesel Stead contacted us for assistance at the Murco petrol station. He thought it would be good to top up before proceeding on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a smart start to our vacation." It was definitely no hassle at all for our technician to go out and perform the fuel drain.

A rather concerned driver called us from the Esso petrol station to inform us that he put petrol into his diesel Stead; he wasn't entirely certain how he'd managed to do it.

He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who appeared to take care of the fuel drain was especially excellent - he did not make me look like a fool."
