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.
  4. 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.

I had a perfect afternoon hiking during my day off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a new couple who were vacationing. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol in their Purfleet, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I heard to the lady chastising her spouse for actually being so confused. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass frequently and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, however he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and pondered on what my wife would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
