No more mis-fuel mishaps in Southern Division
Lancashire Constabulary’s Southern Division is trialling the mis-fuelling prevention device featured on BBC 2’s Dragon’s Den.The device, created by DDN Ltd, gained public attention when it was shown on the programme, gaining investment from Deborah Meaden and Theo Phaphitis.
The mis-fuelling prevention device replaces the fuel filler cap on virtually every model of diesel car, van and light commercial vehicle to prevent the nozzle of unleaded petrol pumps being slotted into the wide-bore neck of diesel tanks.
Fleet & Transport Manager for the Constabulary, Chris Malkin said, “This device will reduce the risk of mis-fuelling and is a great way of making sure that the costs associated with it can be avoided”
The trial is taking place across the Vauxhall Astra beat vehicle fleet in Southern Division covering South Ribble to Skelmersdale between now and the end of the year.
