A New Technique To Avoid Petrol In Diesel Engines

By Christian Check


The occurrence of misfuelling is not only an expensive one, but is also inconvenient. These problems occur globally where customers dispense their own fuel or rely on the service of a petrol attendant. In South Africa, petrol in diesel engines can be prevented with the introduction of smart technology to control against human error and stop costly contamination.

The Diesel Smart Cap is considered and innovation in design providing a global application for the prevention of inserting petrol into the diesel engine. This product is a first for South Africa and aims to control a great deal of the costs that are associated with human error and engine damages. It has been recognized as a safe solution to prevent against driver and attendant miscommunication causing contamination.

This technology replaces the existing fuel cap and works by preventing the probability of using the wrong type of fuel. Due to the rise in the reports of South Africans having to cover exorbitant costs due to petrol attendant mistakes, it is necessary to prevent this from developing. Such occurrences often result in the compromise of servicemen jobs and long lawsuits.

The valves, pistons, and other intricate engine components can sustain severe damage when the wrong fuel is inserted in the diesel engine costing thousands to repair. When the car is started, this is when the most damage will occur and therefore do not turn the ignition as soon as you have recognized such mistakes. The manufacturers, dealers, and insurers will not cover such mistakes.

The Smart Cap works as soon as it is installed with a replacement of an existing fuel cap and cannot be removed or unscrewed by hand. Due to the unique design of the cap, the attendant will be required to ask the consumer how the mechanism is opened. The device can only be released when the diesel nozzle of the pump is fitted into it.

If the driver or attendant makes a mistake by using the wrong fuel pump, the nozzle will not fit into the Smart Cap. The alternative way of opening the device can be completed with a key that the driver has to provide. This forces communication between attendants and owners to prevent against the possibility of contamination.

Petrol in diesel engines can cause extensive damages not only to vehicle owners, but also to petrol supply companies. It is important to consider the use of the technology that could save thousands in reparation costs. The Smart Cap is one of the most innovative and safe solutions for all diesel operated cars.
