depends on the wrong fuel you put in it. There are a lot of different fuels. In general, if you put the wrong fuel in the engine, if its a higher octane it will over rev and blow up. If its a lower octane, it will puddle and flood the system.

What happens if you put the wrong type of fuel into a 1993 Honda 50?

If your engine is not a diesel engine and you put diesel fuel in it is going to smoke allot and could cause internal problems. Now if your car is a diesel engine and you put regular fuel in it it probably wont run for long, but if you just put a different grade of fuel in you will be just fine. let say your car takes premium fuel (92 octane) and you put 89 or 87 octane in it the only variable that's going to change is maybe a little performance and fuel consumption

What is wrong when car seems to lurch like there's not enough gas getting through and it only happens at low speeds?

Assuming your driving is not to blame, and theres a fault with the car, then yes its likely to be a fuel problem. Check the engine management system on newer cars with your dealer. Check there's enough fuel in the tank! Check the fuel pumps and filters. A blocked filter will restrict the amount of fuel flow. Check the fuel injectors. If they are blocked with carbon, the engine will likely struggle.

IS the check engine light on? The computer has the capability of putting the car in a "limp home mode" if somethign is wrong. If no check engine light, your fuel filter may be clogged and blocking fuel or the fuel pump is getting weak.
