How to prevent misfuelling your car
-
Stop and think when you arrive at a service station to refuel and don’t allow yourself to get distracted.
-
Read the label on the pump and nozzle and double-check the information on the inside of your car’s fuel flap. A circular ‘E10’ or ‘E5’ label denotes petrol, while a square ‘B7’ sign means it's a diesel dispenser. ‘E’ stands for ethanol and ‘B’ for biodiesel.
-
Check the colour of the fuel nozzle (black for diesel, green for petrol), but don't rely 100% on this colour coding.
-
If you’re driving a new or unfamiliar vehicle, check and double check the labelling on the inside of the car’s fuel flap.
-
If you're a diesel car driver, fit an adaptor which replaces the existing filler cap. This prevents you from accidentally putting a petrol nozzle into a diesel filler neck.
-
If you’re still worried, the best way to avoid misfuelling is to put a sticker on the outside of the fuel flap reminding you which fuel is required.
