Wayne Rooney could have spared himself the embarrassment of being rescued from the hard shoulder of the M62 recently if his car had been fitted with Rightfuel, a misfuel prevention device from Caparo. The Manchester United and England star filled his wife’s £90,000 diesel Range Rover Sport V8 with unleaded petrol, causing it to stop just one mile later. Rooney now faces a repair bill of up to £6,000, which could have been avoided with this simple device.
However he is not alone for it is estimated that 150,000 people each year in the UK put the wrong type of fuel into their diesel cars causing significant damage, expense and inconvenience according to the AA. So these clever people have invented Rightfuel that is a simple yet effective device that prevents the wrong type of fuel being added to diesel vehicles thus saving motorist a lot of money.
How does it work? Well, Rightfuel replaces a vehicle’s existing fuel filler cap and will not open unless the correct size nozzle from a diesel fuel pump engages it. Rightfuel provides a physical barrier that prevents the wrong fuel entering the tank.
This innovative and patented design means that accidental misfuel incidents will be greatly reduced.
As a simple fuel filler cap replacement, Caparo’s Rightfuel can be fitted to most existing cars and vans. The system is available in two variations to fit both screw and bayonet type fittings. Rightfuel is available from selected car accessory retailers and garage forecourts.
At last, some good news for motorists.
