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.

Now I'm not ever too keen on working on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just departed the family after eating a magnificent lunch made for us by the better half, and I was off to assist a man after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his Farsley Beck Bottom. He was situated nearby hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank God! I had my attention on other stuff and didn't perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about some harm by simply starting it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and that I'd personally get the fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and so another contented customer was able to continue on his journey without the hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make earning a living on Sundays just a little bit easier in my opinion!
