This one mistake could cost UK drivers up to £1,000

Putting the wrong fuel in your car can cost hundreds of pounds to fix and, potentially, cause thousands of pounds' worth of damage. Here are the crucial steps you need to take if this happens to you.

Key takeaways

Misfuelling can cause serious engine damage, with costly repairs if drivers don’t act immediately and correctly.

Drivers are urged not to start the car if they have put the wrong fuel in it, as this can cause the fuel to circulate and damage internal components.

Insurance isn't guaranteed to cover you if you put the wrong fuel in your car, so check your policy and consider getting extra protection.

Surging fuel costs are top of mind for many drivers at the moment, but with searches for “wrong fuel in car” increasing by 163% between January and March this year compared to the previous quarter, drivers could also be experiencing a costly mistake at the pumps.

Misfuelling is an expensive error that can cause serious engine damage if not caught immediately. Specialist fuel rescue services charge between £120 and £1,000 to drain and flush the fuel tank of the wrong fuel.

However, driving your car after putting in the wrong fuel can cause even more damage by circulating the wrong fuel throughout the car, which can damage fuel injectors or pumps and, in worst-case scenarios, can even cause engine failure.

These kinds of repairs can increase repair costs by hundreds or even thousands of pounds, and without the right insurance, these costs fall directly on the driver.

What to do if you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle
what drivers should do the moment they realise they’ve put the wrong fuel in their car.

Don’t start your car: After misfuelling, keep the engine off. If you’ve already started it, switch off the ignition immediately.

Move your vehicle to a safe place: Put the car in neutral and roll it away from other pumps so your breakdown provider can reach you safely

Call your breakdown provider: They have specialist equipment to drain and flush the tank. Don’t attempt to do this yourself!

Housing (Scotland) Act 2025

Recent and upcoming changes

Requests for Rent and Property Details

From 1 April 2026, councils can ask registered landlords for rent and property information under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2025.

All councils must assess rent conditions in their area and submit a report to Scottish Ministers by 31 May 2027, and at least once every five years after that. This information helps Scottish Ministers decide whether a rent control area is needed.

Rent control areas can only be introduced where restricting rent increases is considered necessary and proportionate. Before any decision is made, Scottish Ministers must consult local authorities and representatives of landlords and tenants.

Why is this information be asked for?

Accurate rent information is essential to understand local rent pressures and to support fair, evidence based decisions.

The Act allows councils to request rent and property details from landlords once per year. These powers came into force on 1 April 2026.

You will receive no more than one request in any 12 month period
You must reply within 28 days
The information provided must be accurate
What information will be requested

For each property on your landlord registration, you will be asked to provide:

The type of tenancy (for example, a Private Residential Tenancy)
The current rent being charged
Previous rent payable and date of increase
The number of bedrooms
The number of floors
The type of property (for example, detached, semi-detached, terraced, or flatted)

If you get an unfair ticket in a private car park, DON'T automatically pay it.

These supposed private parking 'fines' are merely invoices, often unenforceable, and in this guide we set out the steps to fight 'em.

You can also challenge an unfair ticket by using this new AI-powered Private Parking Ticket Checker tool – help by testing it.

You shouldn't pay unfair 'fines' and many parking tickets issued in private car parks are invalid – see our step-by-step guide on how to check and what to do.
