To record a fill-up on your phone, open MyFuel in your browser and sign in with Google. Enter the receipt date, litres and amount paid for fuel, plus the car's odometer reading. Check units and fuel type, save the fill-up, then compare the saved journal entry with your receipt. Entry is manual.
What to have ready
Keep the actual receipt and the car's odometer reading taken at that fill-up nearby. Saving records requires an internet connection, a Google account and a car set up in MyFuel. On your first visit, complete the initial disclosures and car setup. No receipt photo is required.
From receipt to saved fill-up
- Open the MyFuel app in your phone browser. If prompted, choose “Sign in with Google” and complete the initial setup.
- Tap +, select “Fuel” if needed, and check that the “Add fill-up” form opens. From the Expenses view, + can open an expense entry, so check the context first.
- Copy the receipt date to “Fill date”, litres to “Fuel added”, and the amount paid after discounts to “Paid for fuel”. Leave out non-fuel purchases on the same receipt. For a petrol + LPG car, set “Fuel for this fill-up” to the purchased “Petrol” or “LPG”. That selector is absent for a single-fuel car.
- Enter the actual reading at the fill-up in “Current odometer reading”, not the distance of the trip. Check whether the displayed unit is km or mi. A comma or dot works as a decimal separator; odometer and litres allow up to three fractional digits, while euros allow up to two. Do not use thousands grouping separators. Do not guess a missing reading or enter zero in its place.
- Check the date, odometer, litres, payment and fuel type if shown. The date defaults to today, so change it for an earlier receipt; a future date is invalid. Tap “Save fill-up” once and wait while the form says “Saving…”. If an error appears, correct the values retained in the form and retry. Do not treat the entry as saved until the save completes.
- Back on “Overview”, select “Fuel”, then “See all” to open the “Fuel journal”. View and period filters persist; selecting “Fuel” in the entry form does not change the overview view. If an older fill-up is hidden, select “All time” in the period selector. Open the fill-up and compare its saved date, odometer, litres, amount and fuel type with the receipt and your odometer note.
Blank fill-up check card
Use this blank checklist beside your receipt. It contains no real or sample entry; add only your own details.
| Date | Odometer and unit (km/mi) | Litres (L) | Paid for fuel (€) | Fuel type | Checked in journal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
How to check and correct the entry
If you spot a mistake in the details, choose “Edit”. The “Edit fill-up” form opens. Correct the value, choose “Save changes”, then check the details again. If saving fails, stay in the form, read the error and fix the input or retry when your connection returns.
You do not need to classify a tank as full to save a fill-up. MyFuel's consumption summary is an approximate purchase-and-distance estimate; it does not certify a separate measurement between two full tanks. For that measurement, read the full-to-full method. For an introduction to the record history, see the MyFuel fuel journal.
