By the time we arrived with her she was not distressed any more and was rather intrigued in watching our technician complete the fuel drain on her Wortley.

You may be suspecting the presence of wrong fuel in your car, but you are not sure. Some clients have in the past reported the issue of wrong fuel only to realize later that it was another issue. For you to make sure your car is experiencing problems due to wrong fuel, we have put together some of the usual signs for you. If you hear your engine spluttering and not running efficiently, or notice too much smoke from your exhaust causing no power to the car and hence forcing the car to a stop, then that is clear indication of burning the wrong fuel.
That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You'll want to go over what are the potential causes of why it happened.

Other than wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you utilize as a propellant. This means that if you encounter any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.
A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that reduces the air pollution of the engine. The correct amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very crucial. It's usually mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If somebody directly added this to your tank not knowing the correct tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble since it is is wrong to mix it with fuel. The signs you will notice is just like what were cited above but don't worry we get it fixed.
