There are other causes of engine problems aside from filling your car with the wrong fuel.

It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Sheerness rental car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction done well in my books!

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.
