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 good night's sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and we were en route to help an old lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Wootton. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater road along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I had just acquired it a short while back because my old car, which I had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant woman!
