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 woman with her kids in her diesel Cragg Vale had put £40 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She contacted us weeping and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what might happen to her car . We told her that the vehicle would be fine and that she would be in action soon. When we arrived she was still upset but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the children on board."
