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:

    • 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.

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a young couple on vacation. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel in their Eldwick, and they were about an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this occurs on daily basis and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. Poor guy. In any case, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
