 Diesel Misfuelling = Accidently Putting Petrol of any type into a Diesel Car, Van or Vehicle. This can be costly!
Misfuelling a Diesel Car, Van or Vehicle with Unleaded Petrol is a huge problem in the UK and around Europe. It's increasing year on year and 150,000 people do this in the UK alone, every year. Thats 400 people a day and 1 every 3.5 minutes. And the problem is growing Rapidly!
We fill our Diesel cars, vans and vehicles up on a weekly basis, often daily if we drive for living. This laborious task can easily contribute to an automatic mindset, and without thinking we just grab a pump, any pump and start filling.
The odds are increased if you drive an unleaded petrol car privately and jump into a Diesel vehicle for your job. Habit can easily deteremine that you'll just grab for the Unleaded pump... and the damage is done. After the mistake has happened we're scratching our heads thinking, "how and why did i do that?"
In many petrol stations there are a myriad of different pumps to choose from including: Diesel, Bio Diesel, Unleaded, Super Unleaded, Leaded, LPG, LRP, BioFuels, etc, and this can be confusing at the best of times. Misfuelling is a costly accident waiting to happen.
Why does Misfuelling happen?
The pump nozzle on a diesel fuel pump is bigger in diameter than an unleaded petrol fuel pump nozzle and so the unleaded pump fits in the Diesel car or vehicle filler neck with ease. This is the problem!
Diesel Misfuelling costs the unfortunate motorist anywhere from £200 to £3000 to fix this easily preventable but costly mistake! The AA charges you £176.50 just to drain your tank and they currently dispose of 20,000 litres of misfuelled unleaded petrol every week. You are not covered with your AA membership fee for this scenario.
You won't have much luck with your insurance company either as again, its not covered by your inurance policy. So what can we do about this?

"Why FuelSure?
There are now three other misfuelling devices on the market. FuelSure is the best and most complete solution. Competitor devices either do not come complete with filler neck adapters for a wide range of vehicles, have small, fiddly caps to unscrew or are simply not tough enough to withstand repeated use.
The technical experts at the RAC, Halfords and a major insurance company have recently selected FuelSure as being the best device currently on the market."
