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.

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to help an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel Gipton Wood. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel because I'd just bought it a week back after my other car, which I had for about 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely woman!
