A method (20) for detecting misfuelling of a vehicle (1) is provided that comprises determining (22) that the vehicle (1) is to be fuelled; capturing (23) an image (30) of a fuel nozzle (33) positioned in the vicinity of a filler cap (4) of the vehicle (1) using an on-vehicle image capture device (7); detecting (24) at least one feature of the fuel nozzle (33) indicative of the type of fuel dispensed by the fuel nozzle (33) in the image (30); determining (25) the type of fuel to be dispensed by the fuel nozzle (33) from the at least one feature of the fuel nozzle (33) detected in the image (30); determining (26) if the type of fuel to be dispensed by the fuel nozzle (33) is compatible with the vehicle (1), and if the type of fuel to be dispensed by the fuel nozzle (33) is incompatible with the vehicle (1), causing (28) a warning to be produced indicative of a misfuelling event. |
