I appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young family on vacation in Macosquin. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their abused Honda, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this goes on regularly in County Derry and that it's actually nothing to stress about, but he still had an earful. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would never ever live it down!

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 refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA 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 misfuelled 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.
