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 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting going over the recent golf results, at the ready for the seventh job to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Priestley Green lease car. She was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another job well done in my books!
