Nonetheless, if you were driving, and suddenly you observe that your car is giving off excessive smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the vehicle loses power slowly regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and ultimately comes to a halt, then there is little doubt that you are facing an incorrect fuel in your vehicle issue.

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

You should keep in mind that the contamination of fuel by water is another problem that can cause similar signs described above. It does not matter whether your car utilizes diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also pay attention to it.

Adblue is a diesel system additive typically put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. However, it should only be utilized by experts who understand where and how to use it. If not, your car will start running badly. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is pretty high particularly if done by someone with no knowledge in this.

Just like when a car has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to move smoothly and eventually cause the car to stop. Luckily, we are here for you. Our technicians are not just skilled on how to deal with this problem but also on how to deal with the problem of wrong fuel and water contamination.
