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.
4. Call us to come out anywhere in Kent to assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.

Now I'm not ever too enthusiastic about doing work weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd just come away from the family after a superb Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to help a gentleman because he filled the incorrect petrol in his Lymbridge Green. He was situated nearby hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I arrived behind the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other things and didn't grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused any kind of harm because of starting it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more satisfied client could carry on with their trip without any difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes operating on weekends a little bit less painful for me!
