A fuel type recognition apparatus of a vehicle and a method thereof are provided to prevent damage to an engine by automatically recognizing the fuel type of the vehicle through a wireless communication between an oiler and the vehicle. A fuel type recognition apparatus of a vehicle includes an oiler(100), a switch(201), a communication unit(202), a controller(203), a relay(204), an oil valve(205), and a speaker(SPK). The oiler transmits/receives codes about a fuel type to/from an oil supply standby vehicle via a wireless communication unit. The switch is switched according to insertion of an oil supply gun of the oiler. The communication unit transmits the codes about the fuel type of the vehicle and codes requesting the fuel type of the oiler. The controller judges whether a fuel type of the vehicle is identical with that of the oiler, and performs supply of fuel only when the fuel type of the vehicle is identical with that of the oiler. An internal switch contact point of the relay is turned on/off according to a control signal from the controller. The oil valve blocks or opens the flow path of the fuel according to power supplied through the contact point. The speaker transmits an alarm sound when the fuel type of the vehicle is different from that of the oiler.
