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.

It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's tennis results, ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Gawthorpe hire car. The poor thing was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, as it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and less anxious. A job well done in my mind!
