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.

    • 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.

A woman with her kids in her diesel Royal Tunbridge Wells had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She called us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We assured her that all would be alright and that she would be on the road quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the children on board."
