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.

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel Halls Green. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road en route to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had just got it a few days ago right after my previous car, which I had used for about thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious woman!
