Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle isn't the only thing that can cause problems. Contamination with other liquid like water can cause your engine to stop from running or function normally. It doesn't matter if your car runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause very similar symptoms to those described above.

The running of the engine is commonly enhanced making use of a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. However, it should only be utilized by experts who understand where and how to use it. Or else, it would cause issues and problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
