Newer models of diesel-fueled cars automatically start the pre-preparation process of igniting the engine, the spark begins to warm up and the fuel is injected as soon as the car doors are unlocked. If the fuel is wrong the engine could get damaged and your wallet gets hit with a (larger) bill.
It is a known fact that the diesel fuel lubricates the mobile parts of the engine (the pumps), while petrol fuel doesn't, which causes “dry” friction between different metals and it damages the engine. Many people believe that misfueling cannot happen to them. The statistics tell a different story.
Across Great Britain wrong fuel sends 155 thousand cars to the repair shops each year. The latest technology erased all notable differenced between diesel and petrol fueled engines, such as noise, the characteristic smoke and smells coming from the engine. This can easily cause a driver used to cars with petrol propulsion, to simply forget to use the black nozzle for the diesel fuel when refueling when changing or borrowing a car.
Misfueling cannot occur with the SoloDiesel cap, since it physically prevents you from inserting the narrower petrol fuel nozzle into the opening used for diesel fuel.
