Each time you fill up your diesel guzzling vehicle there is a potential problem of using the wrong fuel. There is a missfueling device available through Fuel Sure called the Fuel Sure. This device prevents missfueling issues. However, there is more to the whole missfueling device than you might realise. Let’s take a look at your vehicle insurance.
In the UK there are 32 insurance companies for fleet and personal vehicles. Of those 32, seven insurance companies clearly state they will not cover missfueling issues. The other 25 may or may not cover the accident. Without insurance to cover the issue of missfueling you could be looking at over six thousand pounds to correct the error. Furthermore you waste the tank of fuel you just bought. Essentially when missfueling occurs you are just throwing away money that is better spent elsewhere whether you have a fleet or not.
With a fleet you could be looking at more than £30,000 a year just on missfueling repairs. The potential problem you leave yourself open to when you don’t install missfueling devices is grave and it just doesn’t make sense.
Even if you spend £25 per missfueling device on 100 vehicles you are only spending £2500. That is a significant savings, just by getting a missfueling device. Not all employees may misfuel their vehicles, but why take the chance? You are not only losing money when you have a missfueling mishap.
You are also losing time and opportunities. For instance say you have a potential client who has asked for a pickup at 10am. Your driver needs fuel, so he goes to the station at 8am at the start of his shift. Now the driver goes around for an hour and a half making pickups and deliveries. On his way to the new client who could be giving you a million pounds a year for services, the engine breaks down. The client doesn’t see a reliable company. They see a company who cannot meet their needs. The fact is, with missfueling there is a potential to lose more than just money. The driver will be out of work or in another vehicle. You have to find someone to tow the truck to the garage, have it fixed, and possibly be down a truck for another driver. It is a cycle.
This cycle can be ended with a small amount of your earnings with a missfueling device. Why take the chance of letting your company go to ruin or even your personal vehicle when the Fuel Sure is there to solve your problems?

Did you know about 1 person every 4 minutes misfuels their diesel vehicle? With statistics like that it is no wonder 150,000 people every year have to spend between £175.00 and £7000.00 on their cars to repair the problem. The consequences to diesel misfuelling are costly, especially with the new diesel engines on the market. However, before we launch into the repercussions of such misfuelling issues, let’s take a look at how the wrong fuel can get into the vehicle.
On a non diesel engine car a diesel fuel nozzle will not fit into the tank head. This makes it very difficult for a non diesel car to be misfuelled. However, on a diesel engine the tank is designed to take the larger nozzle. This means a driver who is not paying attention can actually pick up the gas nozzle and place it into the tank to start fuelling.
There are a few things that can happen when the wrong fuel is used. In one scenario the person realises their mistake before putting too much of the wrong fuel into the tank. A little of the wrong fuel is not a huge issue. In older times drivers used to put a little gas into the tank to prevent gelling of the diesel engine when it was cold. Unfortunately if a person puts a whole tank of gas into a diesel engine, problems will arise if the truck is driven.
If a person realises their mistake before driving the vehicle the truck can be towed to a garage where the tank is drained and cleaned. The real repercussions from using the wrong fuel in a diesel engine come from driving it. If the vehicle is driven the pumps in the engine will not receive proper lubrication from the right fuel. This means the injector pump and the injectors can be damaged. After a while the engine will no longer work. Then the power steering, ABS, Dynamic Stability Control, and Drive System will stop operating.
There is a solution to all misfuelling problems. The solution is called a misfuelling device, which helps with misfuelling prevention. Fuel Sure is a diesel misfuelling device that can be used on your Fleet of trucks or personal diesel vehicle. It might be confusing to you to understand how a Fuel Sure misfuelling device can work when the nozzles are larger. How it works is the misfuelling device is installed over the existing fuel filler cap. The misfuelling device can distinguish between a large or small nozzle, which means the cap will not open if a smaller nozzle is introduced to the cap, thus it will prevent misfuelling.
Save yourself thousands of pounds a year on diesel misfuelling by purchasing a Fuel Sure device. Just £29.99 to £49.95 per misfuelling prevention device and you will be able to save thousands for years to come.

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?

Protection of your vehicle is imperative. There are numerous things you need to do to make sure your vehicle runs perfectly. You need to get oil changes, tyre rotations, and other maintenance performed on the engine. Occasionally you take your car to get washed inside and out. You also make sure that you prevent accidents relating to driving and parking with a host of aids. So why when something is inexpensive might you fault in purchasing the item? The answer is you shouldn’t, and here is why.
If you drive a diesel vehicle it is very easy to put petrol into the tank, which then costs you from a couple hundred pounds to thousands of pounds to get it fixed. Having a lot on your mind or being weary from working a full day are reasons enough to grab the wrong fuel nozzle. However, there are ways to prevent this very issue. They are called misfuelling protection devices. The Fuel Sure misfuelling device is just one option you have. There are numerous reasons about misfuelling prevention that might cause you to choose the Fuel Sure device over others.
One of these reasons is the easy installation of the Fuel Sure product. All you have to do is unscrew your existing fuel filler cap. If it has a tether, simply cut it away. Then into the tank you will thread the Fuel Sure filler cap. The cap comes in two pieces. It has the piece that remains as part of the tank and the cap that is removed for fuelling purposes.
Inside the portion that remains in the tank is a valve. This valve will only open when the right fuel nozzle is placed into the tank. This means you will no longer misfuel your car. It is now impossible. Even if you don’t pay attention at first you will recognise that it is the wrong nozzle when trying to get the nozzle through the device.
By saving hundreds or thousands of pounds with the Fuel Sure misfuelling device you can seek other items that are more important to your life. Saving money is just one of the perks to using this simple to install misfuelling device. Other reasons include saving time, credibility, and potential of letting others down. This device for misfuelling works both on fleets and personal vehicles. It can also be purchased for a number of different models and styles of cars, making it sensible to have the misfuelling device for prevention of using the wrong fuel.

Any time we damage our vehicle or our vehicle is damaged by another fault we have vehicle insurance that should help us pay for the repairs. For instance if we rear end someone we often have insurance to cover our fault on the other vehicle, as well as to repair it. However, sometimes we don’t have enough coverage or we can’t afford the deductible for the repairs on our vehicle. The type of coverage we have often denotes whether we are protected for certain issues. A car fire may not be covered unless you have comp and collision on your policy.
The point to the above information is that diesel misfuelling while common is usually something you are solely responsible for, whether it is on a fleet policy or personal insurance policy. A recent study showed that 7 out of the 32 insurance companies in the UK state in their policy that they will not cover diesel misfuelling or any type of misfuelling. The other twenty five companies do not state that they will or will not cover the misfuelling problem. This means you could find that the company denies your claim regarding the incident. It also means you could end up paying a couple hundred to a couple of thousand pounds to fix your vehicle or fleet of vehicles.
You should not leave yourself open for this type of problem. There are two ways you can find a solution to diesel misfuelling and lack of insurance coverage. You can find a company that will cover you by wasting time and energy calling all 25 places that don’t state it in their policy, or you can get a diesel misfuelling prevention device.
We recommend the diesel misfuelling prevention device. The device is under £50 pounds and will save you time, money and credibility. For example, if you own a fleet and your drivers are late to a consumer pickup this lets the consumer down. It also means you are not as trusted if this happens.
By purchasing the Fuel Sure device you are saving yourself from loss in a variety of ways. You are also using a simple solution to a costly problem. This solution of the Fuel Sure will not let you down. It is easy to install, which means each driver can put it in place when the product arrives or you can have one person responsible in the maintenance department. No matter how you get the product Fuel Sure installed, you will not regret the benefits offered.

Misfuelling a vehicle is a more common problem than one might consider. The statistics are staggering when it comes to police forces and regular people misfuelling their vehicles. About 1 in every 4 people will misfuel a diesel engine, which means about every 4 minutes a misfuelling occurs. Furthermore about 2 out of every 4 people know someone who has actually misfuelled their car. Each year about 150,000 people use the wrong fuel, which can cost each person about £150 to £7000 depending on the damage. If the vehicle is driven with the wrong fuel it costs more for the repairs.
With diesel engines when the wrong fuel is used it can lead to replacement parts due to severe damage inside the engine. At the very least it will affect the performance of the vehicle.
It is not necessary for fleets or personal vehicles to be damaged by a misfuelling issue. There are misfuelling devices on the market which can help you put in the right fuel every time you need diesel. One of the misfuelling prevention devices is the FuelSure.
The FuelSure replaces the manufacturer fuel filler cap. As you know, the cap screws into the fuel filler, locking it. By purchasing the FuelSure filler cap you will need to remove the old cap. In its place you will screw on the FuelSure cap. The cap is made of two parts. The first part will remain in place while the actual cap portion will come unscrewed.
Inside the portion that stays on the fuel filler area is a pressure device. The device will only open to allow the larger nozzle through. A smaller nozzle will not provide the right circumference, thus you will prevent misfuelling with the FuelSure filler cap.
You’ve seen how much the repairs can cost you if you drive the vehicle. Even without driving the vehicle you will need to spend the £150 to £300 in order to drain the tank. The chance leaves too much cost out there for you to have to worry about, especially in today’s economy. We don’t have an extra bit of money lying around to correct a misfuelling, so spend a smaller amount on a device that will last for a long time, and prevent a major problem with misfuelling.
By spending a little money you will be able to save a great deal. The best part about the FuelSure device is that you can use it on a variety of different vehicle models, which means all of your cars with diesel engines can be protected.

In recent years we have learned more and more about our impact on the environment. We know that carbon emissions are leading to global warming, that animals are dying, and the poles are melting. These are verifiable facts. We also know that the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in Alaska was by far one of the worst disasters involving oil in the world. It cost millions of dollars in clean up, and millions of animals lives. The area is still coming back from the disaster.
You might wonder what this disaster has to do with when it comes to misfuelling, but what if I told you that the world is not perfect. We like to think that our hazardous waste is disposed of properly, but each year we find evidence that the waste is affecting the world. Diesel fuel when mixed with gasoline can be as harmful as the oil spill in Alaska. In fact it can be more so. If 5 percent of the diesel and gas waste disposed of each year were to get into the water it could cause 75,000 gallons to be dumped.
The fact is that misfuelling is more dangerous to the environment than gas or diesel separately being introduced into the water. You can prevent the environment from being damaged further by reducing the amount of misfuelling that occurs. About each year 20,000 breakdowns occur in the UK, of 150,000 misfuelling mishaps. The 150,000 misfuelling mishaps create a problem for the tank to be drained and the waste disposed.
Now that you know the costly effect to the environment misfuelling can have, let’s look at what you can do to prevent it. Fuel Sure is a misfuelling prevention device sold online in the UK. Fuel Sure device has a valve placed inside the top of the tank where you fill the tank. This valve only opens when the large diesel nozzle is used. It will not give way to the smaller nozzle of the petrol fuel. It also replaces the existing cap with one of its own that fits the Fuel Sure device. It is sold as a unit for under fifty pounds.
For a small amount you can protect the environment; save yourself the cost of draining the tank, throwing away money on fuel, and possibly replacing the engine. Gas to a diesel engine will prevent the engine from working because it damages how the injector pump works as well as the compression needed to burn diesel.
The Fuel Sure device is about more than the environment. It is also about helping yourself. You can save money, time, and spend it on better things. By acting now you can stop any opportunity for misfuelling.

Newer cars are more expensive to repair. The cars are being made with intricate parts, new ideas, and new ways of making the car work. Many of us find that the only mechanic that can work on our car is one that has been certified by the manufacturer because of the complications that can arise. The costs for repair are so large that when a simple solution is available to cut down on the repairs needed exists you shouldn’t have to think twice about purchasing the system.
In this case we are talking about misfuelling. Each year thousands of pounds are spent by over 100,000 residents in the UK to correct their misfuelling mistake. What if we could tell you that spending under fifty pounds could lay your misfuelling fears to rest for life? This is not a joke.
Several companies including Fuel Sure have devised a device called a misfuelling prevention device or system. It is a simple product with easy installation, which asks for no second thoughts.
The Fuel Sure device replaces the existing fuel filler cap on your vehicle or fleet of vehicles. As a misfuelling prevention product it threads into the existing tank to place a valve in the way of fuelling. The valve will only open when the larger diesel nozzle is used. If the smaller petrol nozzle is placed in the tank the valve will not open. This instantly brings your attention to the fuelling process and stops misfuelling. As part of the Fuel Sure device it comes with its own cap. This cap will protect the valve from the elements and replace the manufacturer cap tethered to your car.
Installation of this device is easy. The amount you save will really reward you for the purchase. When misfuelling is caught the tank has to be drained, which can be £150 to £300. If you drive the vehicle before the issues are caught it could be £7000 or more to replace parts, or all of the engine. If a tank has to be drained of the gas, you are throwing away almost or more than the cost of the Fuel Sure misfuelling prevention device. The device is less than £50. With the cost of fuel lately that can be more of a costly mistake than you are prepared to make. Do not allow yourself to be in a position where you throw money away, especially when you have such a simple system that can prevent misfuelling from occurring now and in the future on any model car you own.

Recent media has announced that a couple of Constabularies in the UK are testing a misfuelling device on their service vehicles. The tests have come about due to research into the costs these Constabularies have in regards to diesel misfuelling. Each year about 150,000 people misfuel their car. Of that number about 50 police officers a year put the wrong fuel into their police cars.
The amount spent on repairs each year for the Constabularies is about £15,000 each. Imagine what you could do with an extra £15,000 if you were part of the police force. This money could go to upping security in high risk places, more training for officers, or just general protection of your area. The replacement of parts when a vehicle has been damaged by misfuelling can be extraordinary. For a full replacement of the engine it can be several thousand pounds. No one wants to spend that kind of money when there is something so simple to fix the issue.
This is why a few of the local Constabularies have decided to test the misfuelling devices. The expense of purchasing the product is lower by far than the continuation of replacing engines or at least getting the tank drained from a wrong fuel mishap.
While you can’t “test” a product from Fuel Sure for free you can still try the device to see how well it works for you. It is guaranteed to help lower loss of time, money, and credibility. It will also help you spend your money on things you need more than repairs to your vehicle. It doesn’t matter whether you have a fleet of cars or a personal vehicle. The Fuel Sure misfuelling device will solve your problems of misfuelling.
The misfuelling device is designed to block the smaller nozzle of the petrol, but allow the larger diesel nozzle through. Don’t take a chance with your business if it is losing money on misfuelling. Why should you lose opportunity costs or revenue to mistakes? By installing the Fuel Sure device on all your vehicles you will never have to worry about any misfuelling, whether by you or your staff.
The product is simple, inexpensive, and can save you thousands. By acting now you can test the product for yourself, even if it is only on one fleet vehicle. After one use with the misfuelling prevention device you will want to have it on all your vehicles.

Do you own a fleet of trucks, cars, or vans? How much did you spend last year on correcting diesel misfuelling problems caused by an inattentive driver at the pump? Diesel misfuelling is the most common type of misfuelling, but believe it or not even gas misfuelling occurs. Whether you suffer from one type or the other of misfuelling it can cost you thousands of pounds a year, on top of the loss of customers and time spent on correcting the problem.
What makes the problem worse is the lack of insurance protection you have from such a problem. Luckily there is a simple cure to your fleet problems. The Fuel Sure device will prevent misfuelling mishaps on your vehicles. More than that the Fuel Sure protection device will save you time, credibility, and loss of opportunity costs.
Don’t allow your drivers to bleed you dry when there is a simple cure for your issues. You might be wondering how the Fuel Sure misfuelling protection device works. It is not a big secret.
Your fuel tank is threaded for the fuel filler cap. The cap locks in place to prevent air, water, and other things from corroding the inside of the tank. You always have to have the fuel filler cap in place. What Fuel Sure has done is create a device that replaces the manufacturer fuel filler cap with a different design.
The new design is a two part product to help you get the right fuel in the vehicle every time. One part will use the threads of the tank to lock into place a valve. This valve can only be opened with the correct sized nozzle, which means it will not depress and open with the smaller petrol nozzle. The second part is a replacement cap that screws into the valve device. Basically all you are doing is switching out the old cap for a new one with a special feature.
It is easy to install, cost effective, and worth your time in ordering. The Fuel Sure misfuelling prevention device ensures that you will never have to worry about your drivers or staff putting the wrong fuel into the tank. It will not matter if they are not paying attention, because as soon as they try to fuel the vehicle they will encounter a problem if they have the wrong nozzle. They will always be putting in the right fuel. What is more, you save money on operating costs by not wasting an entire tank of gas.
