Signs of wrong fuel
Whenever you refuel your car tank with the wrong fuel, your car may start giving many signs that should get you concerned, unfortunately, you may be unable to master them all. Nonetheless, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or your car stops and shows no power at all even though you press the accelerator harder and harder, then it is almost a given that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
Now that you know the indications of incorrect fuel in a car, 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 different things and allowing the autopilot do all of it especially when driving a vehicle that you are unfamiliar with for instance a borrowed or hired car is highly discouraged.
You should also be aware that incorrect fuel is not the only problem that can cause your car to show the above signs. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your vehicle not work efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. Thus, if your car starts showing the aforementioned signs, you should not only suspect incorrect fuel but also water contamination.
A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that reduces the 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 you hire someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the right procedure, it's more likely to cause trouble to your engine. The signs you will see is just like what were cited above but don't fret we get it fixed. Here's our personal message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always be your helping hand at any time of the day, wherever you are".

Wrong Fuel in Car Flanshaw - Petrol in Diesel Car Flanshaw
It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the tennis rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Flanshaw rental car in error. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was only a short distance from the office, we could find the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain done well in my books!
