I had appreciated a terrific evening hiking during my day off and felt pleased the following morning as I was on the way to assist a young couple away in Swindon. They broken down after filling petrol in their shiny BMW 545, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this problem happens constantly in Staffordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and considered what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.

    • 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.
