Has anyone heard of a device that you can fit near the fuel cap of a car, that when the light hits it, a voice recording reminds you " Remember Deisel Only " If so what are they called and where can i get one online.

Thanks in advance

Not quite Count but thank you anyway.
Don't most cars have a sticker on the inside of the fuel cap that says either Diesel only or petrol only.
They do milly but it doesn't seem to stop mistakes. I can think of 3 times in the last year where staff have put the wrong fuel in the pool cars at work.
What did the petrol say to the motorist as it was being pumped into a diesel car?

"What kind of fuel do you take me for"?

Is there any device to prevent diesel mis-spelling as well?

NazNomad that's the exact thing i am looking for thank you very much.

Nice one JonnyBoy it's called a spell-checker and they don't have them on this site
I just tend to look for the green pipe as opposed to the black pipe and my observational skills have never let me down yet.
Unless of course you are talking about drivers who fail to knwo the type of fool their car carries

Someone on Dragon's Den devised the thing you're looking for, didn't they? Either diesel or unleaded has a narrower nozzle, you can't fit the wrong one in the device. I haven't heard of one which speaks to you.

I've just got a new Diesel Mondeo (company car) don't know how the thing works but you can't shove an unleaded nozzle in it and no I haven't tried it but a colleague has.
