Indicators of incorrect fuel
After refueling your tank, your vehicle may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to catch them all. However, if you were driving a vehicle, and abruptly you observe that your car is giving off excessive smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power gradually regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and ultimately comes to a stop, then there is little doubt that you are dealing with a wrong fuel in your vehicle issue.
All that said, you will most likely be more careful in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. You'll want to go over what are the possible causes of why it happened.
- You're in a situation where you are distressed while in a hurry
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- Being in a vehicle you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a vehicle
Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.
You should keep in mind that the contamination of fuel by water is another issue that can cause the same signs described above. It does not matter whether your car uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.
Diesel engines (modern ones) today make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous contaminants in the exhaust fumes. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of appropriate ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If you hire somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the correct procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. You will start observing the same symptoms mentioned above but you shouldn't be worried about it. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always be your helping hand any time of the day, anywhere you are".

- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
