Other than wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

You can also notice the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's the reason why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated.
