That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be cautious in the future. From now on, look out for those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your car:
- You are in a situation where you are distressed while in a hurry
- Out of concentration because you are on autopilot

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.
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 runs on diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.
The running of the engine is usually improved making use of a diesel system additive called AdBlue. But it can only be used by individuals who know how to use it correctly. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your vehicle. To avoid any issues, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. The probability of misusing AdBlue is very high particularly if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.
Just like when a car has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually cause the vehicle to stop. Good news is we are at all times willing to help.
