Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an audible warning device for a fuel tank.
  • the present invention concerns an audible warning device for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle.
  • the UK's Automobile Association Motoring Trust estimates that each year somewhere in the region of 300,000 motorists refuel their vehicle with the incorrect fuel type.
  • the motor industry has recently reported that the actual figure is set to rise even further, as more and more motorists are choosing to run diesel engine vehicles as opposed to petrol.
  • the most common cause of motor vehicle breakdowns in the UK can be attributed to refueling such vehicles with the incorrect fuel type, be it diesel fuel in a petrol engine or vice versa The resulting damage to the engine system can be severe.
  • the cost associated with repairing the damage can be significant and is estimated in the UK to be £80,000,000 per annum . It is particularly costly to repair a diesel engine which has been mis-fuelled with unleaded petrol.
  • a report published by the Canadian Environmental department suggests that the mis-fuelling of a diesel engined vehicle with petrol has the potential to damage the vehicle's catalytic converter. The damage caused will reduce the effectiveness of that vehicle's exhaust and emission system, resulting in an increase of pollutant emission levels for that vehicle. Whilst the resulting damage is unlikely to effect a vehicle's performance, it is unlikely that such an expensive component would be replaced since the raised pollutant emissions may still remain within transport agency guidelines.
  • an audible warning device for a fuel tank having an inlet and a fuel inlet flap which is moveable between an open and closed configuration such that the inlet can be selectively uncovered or covered
  • the device comprising a control unit having means for storing and playing an audible message, the audible message comprising an indication of fuel type, and a switch operatively coupled to the control unit and cooperating with the flap such that when the fuel inlet flap is in its open configuration the switch is capable of activating the control unit to play the audible message.
  • the device can provide a reminder to motorists to use the correct fuel type when refueling. A motorist is therefore less likely to refuel his or her vehicle with the incorrect fuel.
  • the present invention enables the widespread distribution of an affordable mis-fuelling prevention system, thus providing a solution that will reduce the frequency of mis-fuelling incidents significantly, minimizing the potential hazards and risks associated with the occurrence of mis-fuelling.
  • the control unit may comprise a central processing unit (CPU).
