Actually it was in fact that quiet that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the other end said: "I've only just finished my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the Lydd-on-Sea". I instructed him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was and we left, arriving under half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car and he said many thanks for arriving so rapidly. As we were heading back to the depot we found two young women at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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:

    • 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.
