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.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Monday and I was on the way to help an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel Swanscombe. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only purchased it a couple of days back when my former car, which I had had for more than thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful lady!
