Solodiesel Cap

SoloDiesel cap prevents misfuelling. In attempt to insert a narrower petrol nozzle into a wider diesel fuel aperture, SoloDiesel will prevent this by safety latches and block the petrol nozzle. On the other hand, the system allows easy access to the diesel fuel nozzle with the right diameter. Unscrewing and screwing of the fuel cap is not needed.
The flap automatically closes the aperture after fuelling, whereas in accordance with European standards it also enables proper ventilation or pressure regulation in the tank.
The basic idea is to prevent a fuel nozzle with a narrower diameter from entering the filler with a wider diameter.
Solodiesel is a replacement fuel cap that physically prevents the narrower diameter petrol nozzle entering into the wider diesel fuel aperture. The Solodiesel is the only capless device on the market and is easy to fit and easy to use. It is available in either a bayonet or a screw thread fitting which accommodates the majority of diesel cars and vans. Solodiesel is a ventilated, pressure opening, replacement fuel cap which physically prevents the all too common mistake of misfueling, often leading to repair costs of up to £7,000.
Function
The key part of the SoloDiesel cap, which prevents misfuelling, includes two safety latches.
In case you attempt to insert a narrower petrol nozzle into a wider diesel fuel aperture, SoloDiesel will prevent this with safety latches and block the petrol nozzle. System allows access to the diesel fuel nozzle with the right diameter.
The flap automatically closes after fuelling and also enables proper ventilation or pressure regulation in the tank. SoloDiesel cap is made in accordance with all European standards and can replace the existing fuel tank cap.
Benefits
There is no longer need for the original cap, as once the SoloDiesel cap is installed to the filler neck, it remains there. Movable flap on the cap prevents fuel from leaking out.
Economical cap
European statistics reveal 900 million euros of car repair costs as a result of misfuelling on annual basis. Police in UK cost taxpayers £1million a year filling cars with wrong fuel
Development
Initially the issue of misfuelling was solved with sophisticated stoppers, which prevented a narrower nozzle from entering a wider filler aperture. Further on, the innovators were guided by the thought that users should not have to get their hands dirty by unscrewing and screwing the cap. This issue was solved with a flap, which is removed once the nozzle is inserted and returned into a “closed” position after fuelling. Additionally, this solution also provides faster fuelling.
Within three years of development, the company manufactured 16 prototypes in order to come to the “right” SoloDiesel cap model, which reliably prevents misfuelling into diesel-fuelled cars. The installation of the cap is simple and it requires no unscrewing for fuelling purposes. Four models of safety caps are currently available for various types of fuel apertures, which suit 95 percent of models of all car brands throughout the world.
