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.

A somewhat alarmed driver phoned us from the Texaco petrol station to advise us that he had put petrol into his diesel Tong; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd managed to do it. We told him it was no concern and soon enough had our fuel drainer with him to clear the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having removed the bad fuel, he was almost immediately back driving. He told us; "I am honestly surprised I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the person who came to perform the fuel drain was really nice - he did not make me seem silly."
