Now that you are aware of the indicators of incorrect fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more careful in future and be certain of not making the mistake. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on various things and letting the autopilot do all of it especially when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired vehicle is highly discouraged.
You should also be aware that incorrect fuel is not the only problem that can cause your car to show the aforementioned indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car not run smoothly and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. So, should you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dalton - Fuel Rescue Dalton
Now I am not very inclined to running weekends, and a while back was no different. I had only just come away from home after a tasty roast prepared by the better half, and I was off to deal with a man who had put the wrong fuel in his Dalton. He was located nearby and so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any kind of damage by starting it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be any damage and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and then another delighted client was able to carry on with his ride without difficulty. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make working on weekends that little bit less painful for me personally!
