Wrong Fuel in Car Lane End - Petrol in Diesel Car Lane End
We did a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a lovely house a few weeks ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and was able to more or less reach home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and carried out a full fuel drain and purge on the Lane End .

The fact that you now are aware the signs of wrong fuel in car or have experienced it, it will help you notice the issue if it happens again in future. You should avoid being in a hurry, not focusing when you are on autopilot, and being in a car you are borrowing or hiring so as to avoid encountering the same mistake.
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
Presence of water in fuel is another thing which can make your vehicle behave in the manner explained above. Hence you also have to consider it. It will make your vehicle behave abnormally and eventually stops regardless of whether it runs on diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you are in a situation of doubt.
Diesel engines (modern ones) today use AdBlue to reduce nitrous toxins in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank mounted somewhere. If you get somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. You will start observing the same signs mentioned above but you should not be worried about it. Here's our personal message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll be your helping hand at any time of the day, wherever you are".
