    Yes it's very possible. It sounds like your engine just started to overheat, even though everything appeared normal before. Since you have an aluminum head engine, don't drive it until you fix the problem. Otherwise, you could warp the head, damage the valves, and blow the head gasket. The problem is not related to the petrol.
