All that said, you will most likely be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. From now on, consider those common causes of putting the incorrect fuel in your car:

Some reports:
Wrong Fuel in Car Upton - Petrol in Diesel Car Upton
Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Upton. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was broken down in a rural road en route to visit her family. I plugged the location in the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just bought it a short while back right after my former one, which I had used for in excess of twenty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious lady!

A young lady employed nearby contacted us after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Upton and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could basically top up her tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she got to the the front of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted in one hour while she was at work. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very relieved you repaired my vehicle."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Call us to come out and 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.
