DIESEL FILL

DIESEL FILL

MISFUELLING PREVENTION DEVICE

Incorrect fuelling has become a growing issue, doubling in the last decade. Thousands of motorists mistakenly put petrol in diesel engines each year- this happens hundreds of times daily, particularly with the increasing number of diesel vehicles on the road.

Many households have a mix of petrol and diesel cars and a lapse in concentration at the pump, combined with the fact that the smaller petrol nozzle can fit into a diesel tank, makes misfuelling easy to do.

The Diesel Fill Misfuelling Prevention Device provides a tested and approved solution to prevent misfuelling by physically blocking the wrong fuel nozzle from being inserted. It only opens when the correct nozzle is used, ensuring your vehicle is always properly fuelled.

Please note: The Diesel Fill cap does not accept high-flow diesel nozzles.
