Even the Police Make Mistakes with Misfuelling

Diesel misfuelling is more common than most individuals think.  In a recent news release the Lancashire constabulary admitted that their officers foul up about 50 times a year, costing the force £15,000 per year on repairs.  Misfuelling in any fashion, whether it is gas into diesel or the other way around is too common for a solution not to be reached.  Fuel Sure Diesel misfuelling device can solve a lot of the problems with wrong fuel being used.

As a fleet owner or a private car owner, you will never have to fear the problems that can be caused by gas in a diesel engine.  It might be tough for you to understand what effects the gas can have on a diesel engine if you don’t know much about engines.

To give you a little idea on why it can be so problematic we will explain a little about it.  In a diesel engine compression is used rather than spark plugs to help burn the fuel.  With diesel it is a heavier material, so when it is compressed the air forces it into the engine where it is able to burn.  There is also what is called an injector pump, which uses the diesel fuel to lubricate the injectors.  When gasoline enters into the pump it causes a disruption in the lubrication, which then damages the injectors.

The Fuel Sure misfuelling device will help prevent even a little gas from getting into your diesel engine.  As you know the diesel filler cap is larger than a gas cap, which means both the diesel fuel nozzle and the gas nozzle can fit into the hole. It is very easy to not notice this difference when fuelling.

To make sure you never make a mistake in misfuelling, use the misfuelling prevention device.  It is designed to recognise the differences in nozzle size.  Unless the correct nozzle is placed in the cap the cap door will not open.  Thus the fuel cannot enter into the tank.

Without this device on a personal car you could be looking at £150 to £7000 worth of damage to the engine.  The least that can happen with a misfuelling issue is a draining of the tank.  However, if the vehicle is driven the engine will eventually seize and stop working.  The only way to correct this problem is by rebuilding the engine.  Save yourself thousands of pounds by using the misfuelling prevent device.  The Fuel Sure device is less than fifty pounds.  Truly, why fear damage when you can prevent it with the Fuel Sure misfuelling prevention device?
