"I had got a house"-- It sounds odd. Is the meaning 'I possess a house'? Then, 'I've got a house'.

"Put petrol in my car/motorbike of 1 dollar" correct?-- Not quite. 'Put a dollar's worth of gas in my car/motorbike'. Remember that 'gas' is American (like 'dollar'), while 'petrol' is British English (like 'pound').
