August 19, 2004 -- Those who have inadvertantly misfuelled their diesel vehicle with unleaded petrol will realise that it can happen to anyone. Even the Metropolitan Police! All it takes is a sudden memeory lapse at the petrol pump and before you know it you have filled up with the wrong fuel.

Most people fuel their vehicles several times a week, but sometimes the best of us can get it wrong.

However, UK Fuelguard and Voice Express Corp have teamed to produce a device called the Diesel Guard™. When filling up at the petrol station, Diesel Guard™ reminds you that your car runs on diesel fuel with an audible warning message so that even if you're running on auto-pilot, you're unlikely to fill up with the wrong fuel.

The UK's Automobile Association Motoring Trust estimates that every year something like 120,000 motorists in the UK fill their car’s tank with the wrong fuel. It can cost from £80 up to £3000 - and take days to put right.

Modern diesel engines are easily damaged by misfuelling with petrol. In a common rail diesel engine, the high pressure injectors need to be lubricated by oily diesel fuel at all times. Even small amounts of petrol are enough to damage your engine leading to costly repairs.
Diesel Guard™ can offer considerable savings in costs when fitted by fleet and rental users, protecting against the misfuelling of your vehicles by users unfamiliar with the correct fuel. It's simple to fit prior to delivery or can be retro-fitted.

Geoffrey Stern, President of Voice Express commented:
“Dieselguard.com and Voice Express have teamed up to create an innovative product which uses our audio electronics to enhance the lives of millions of motorists. The Dieselguard audio warning device represents the perfect combination of our audio chip technology with a product application which incorporates an understanding of the needs and lifestyle of customers on the go.”

Dieselguard can be bought online at www.dieselguard.com priced at £14.69.

It is also available to large fleet users who should contact sales@dieselguard.com

Diesel misfuelling in the UK is one of the most common causes of breakdowns. It is estimated that it happens to over 300,000 motorists per year, and that in excess of £80 million is spent in repair bills because of it. £14.69 is a small price to pay when one considers that it could costs you thousands of pounds if you get it wrong.
