He was situated in Shenley Church End and so I arrived with him before long. As I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my mind on something else and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on some problems through driving it?" I revealed that generally there shouldn't be problems and also I'd remove the contaminated fuel right away for him. Obviously I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so another delighted motorist was able to carry on with his ride without any subsequent hassle.

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:

    • 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.
