Signs of wrong fuel
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to grasp them all.

A sputtering engine with low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination.

The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap.
