I enjoyed a perfect day hiking during the weekend and felt delighted the next day as I set off to assist a young family on holiday in Charlton. They stopped after inserting petrol in their precious MINI Cooper Countryman, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady berating her partner for actually being so confused. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place frequently in Hertfordshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, but he still got his ear bent. Poor boy.

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
