It was around seven pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Marple and put petrol in a diesel husband's Kia Sportage rental car. The poor thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen.

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 refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA 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 misfuelled 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.
