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.

A young lady with her little ones in her diesel East Hardwick had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Tesco station. She called us sobbing and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all should be okay and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."
