The Police have found a new way to waste money !

Telegraph Article

If it was to happen a couple of times a year then fair enough, but 44 times a year !!! Seriously, that's almost once a week.

Perhaps they should make the intelligence tests a little harder to get into the Police.

If they really need something to shout "DIESEL" at them when they open the fuel cap, then perhaps they should take on a role with a little less responsibility. I can only imagine how embarrassed they are at the petrol station.

I don't understand how people can ever put the wrong kind of fuel in.

On almost all cars you can tell instantly from the sound of the engine and how it drives. And the fact that the rev counter only goes up to 5 or 6 instead of 7 or 8.

Admittedly I *nearly* put petrol in a Merc CLS320CDI once. But with the beautiful sound it makes and the kick in the back when you prod the loud pedal, you can't blame me for forgetting it was a diesel

Why Did You Have to Capitalise Every Word? Sorry Just One Of My Pet Hates!

Talking petrol caps are probably cheaper than putting the wrong type of fuel in!!

Anyway the LAS have been using these for ages, funny how the newspapers dont write about them using it...

But with an Astra it's really not hard to tell.

Like wading through mud = petrol model
Like wading through mud with lead shoes on = diesel model.
And if it's a van, well, it's not going to run on petrol is it?

[Keir]

this is so old, i was next to an essex police car over a year ago that was telling the driver "THIS IS A DIESEL VEHICLE BAAARRRRPP BAAAAARRRPP BAAAAARRRPP" hardly breaking news.
