If you are responsible for operating and maintaining a fleet of company cars or vehicles, you’ll probably know how difficult it can be to get people to change their behaviour in any sense. Taking care of their company car and ensuring that it is regularly serviced may be things that you find you have to enforce with regular checks on mileage and service records. Unfortunately, misfuelling or when company employees unthinkingly or carelessly put the wrong fuel into the car, is all too frequent. It’s also something where it’s no good trying to check up afterwards. FuelSure solves the problem for you.
The main requirement for misfueling prevention today is for diesel engine vehicles, especially cars. When someone lapses back into old habits, or forgets that it’s a diesel company car and not their own petrol engine car, then filling up the tank with petrol becomes a very real risk. It’s also something you might only find out about, when you get that phone call from someone whose company car has juddered to a halt on the motorway.
The internal damage to a diesel engine that has been misfuelled with petrol can be extensive and expensive. It only takes one component to be contaminated by petrol or a petrol/diesel mixture for the problem to spread rapidly and inexorably throughout the system. Your company’s or organisation’s insurance policy might cover claims for damage, but it surely will not cover the incidental loss of time, missed appointments or hits on productivity. Save all of these expenses and problems by using FuelSure.
The same problem faces fleet operators of vehicles used for public or private professional use. Whether police, post, package delivery or plumbing, there is the same danger of confusing a petrol pump with a diesel pump and misfuelling. Whenever the ‘human factor’ intervenes, just hoping that everybody will remember to fill up diesel engine vehicles with diesel fuel is not good enough. FuelSure is what you, and they, need.
At FuelSure we find that some of the statistics from a 2004 study by the AA are alarming, especially for fleet operators:
- Sixty per cent of all call-outs for misfuelling are to places other than filling stations, indicating that the vehicle had been misfuelled and then driven in a misfuelled state
- Fifty-three per cent involved fleet or lease vehicles
- Eighty-eight per cent involved cars, twelve per cent involved vans
- Eighty-eight per cent of vehicles concerned could not be repaired in situ and had to towed or transported to the nearest garage (forty-two per cent), to a franchised dealer (twenty-four percent) or to another destination of the driver’s choice.
Some organisations are taking the matter in hand and moving towards simple but effective devices to prevent misfuelling. Besides saving company profit or taxpayers’ money, it is often essential for such organisations to have vehicles that have all the performance and reliability required. So find out today about a simple but remarkably effective diesel misfuelling device, FuelSure, which can save your organisation considerable time and money.
