Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But you should also remember that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

Down below are responses and cases of fuel drains we've undertaken in Snowdown:

Wrong Fuel in Car Snowdown - Petrol in Diesel Car Snowdown

The owner of a Snowdown was regretful that he had put unleaded in his diesel automobile when he got onto the street and it spluttered and ceased. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel car," is what he told us the very first time he rang. To be truthful, when he first called us he said he would like to comparison shop, but he called us back before long because our pricing and call-out times were the most appropriate. Needless to say, our fuel drainer had him once again performing his deliveries well within the time period we had quoted.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Snowdown - Fuel Rescue Snowdown

It was before 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting going over the sports results, ready for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station and put petrol in her diesel Snowdown lease car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain done well in my opinion!
