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:

    • 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.

It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting going over the recent sports, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lower Cumberworth hire car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. A fuel drain done well in my books!
