I'd had a great evening fishing on my holiday and felt contented the following day as I was on the way to assist a young family who were on vacation. They'd pulled over after filling petrol in their Royds Green, and were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I listened to the gal telling her partner off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass all the time and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.
