Will This Product End All Car Mis-fuelling Incidents?! | Dragons' Den 

Yeah well... Nothing will ever beat Pizza Jones

Seems to happen more with English accents lol

To be fair it wasn't a negotiation really, he never offered her a negotiation, Duncan got him to reveal that he had a 25% cap. Most would be annoyed at not getting told something like that up front, she did decrease her offer when it was revealed, he still chose her half offer. She had easily went to a half partner offer with another dragon, greedy would have been holding her ground on the 35% and saying she's out because she had felt offended about not being told about an offer cap up front, a move that the investors on shark tank are known for making.

The dragon takes all the risk, hence a higher equity. The company has folded now so enough said.

His profit figures were just Fantasies, the company never traded

Company has folded. Now apologise clown.

Who/what is WV?

​@@erebostdWagenvolks

@@brohanime and what’s that? Never heard it. Beside a facebook group there’s basically nothing with this name…

@erebostd it’s Volkswagen… wagonvolks was just a joke after the first typo

@@waldseeschloss6719 oh, ok. I asked because i thought maybe there’s a company with this patent I didn’t know of. English isn’t my first language, so I didn’t get the joke. Thanks!

He is boring

@@drpeppaerdrpeppaer5434nah I think he’s cool

He’s a “pleasant man”

What about Nick Cotton from EastEnders 🤔 Lol 😆

Lol

Pizza Jones

Duncan Ballastrade

Might have been true

Yeah, that was horrendous

They did not shown on tv, lots doesn’t get aired

They do a lot of questioning during the filming but it gets heavily edited and condensed down to a 15min clip for TV.

You obviously don't know how Dragons' Den works. You think that they ask questions for 10-15 minutes and decide in those 10 minutes. Each pitch is between 45-90 minutes long, edited down to 10-15 minutes, or even less. That question would have been asked in the questioning. You are dealing with dragons....

They are interrogated for hours before, during and after negotiations.

@@Carl-tc2yb Hours is a bit of a stretch. It doesn't last that long. In rare exceptions, it might be 2-3 hours.

but the bigger the fleet the more likely there is to be a misfuelling incident the odds of a mishap stay the same no matter how many vehicles there are.

It's more about down time of vehicle for Big fleet companys no the actual cost of repairs

250k definitely wouldn't be "spare change" to anyone experienced with money.

It's gone on to achieve nothing so he's saved £250k.

too much for what the seller was generating in revenue, not for what's in buyer's bank acct

Peter just wants to set a culture of low-ball offers.

Isn't that the point?spare change or not he makes money because he invests wisely

I think he did or would not have said it.

One of the strangest offers I've ever heard. Especially with the other offer already there lol

Caan*

Possibly didn't really want it but wanted to look like he could put up that amount of cash.

@@tomburns5231 Yh I've noticed he always offers half the cash lmao I don't think I've ever seen him offer the full amount, he always seems to want to split the risk with another Dragon

Muppet

You've never once made a single mistake? Good heavens... are you deity? Do you claim to be deity? You act like deity... I suspect the reality's rather different!

Volkswagen AG bought the patent in 2016

No not the pumps problem its the user so this is to be bought by the user.

@@OgglyGoogly What? My point is literally preceding the fact of even needing such a product in the first place if pumps and cars were designed with different shapes.

@@Interknetz they are already though this is for older vehicles not the new market

​@@OgglyGoogly And yet people still manage to put the wrong fuel in their car.

@@Interknetz 🤣yep

Of course not, why would a mechanic be more interested in preventing damage than a fleet owner?

Of course you put petroleum in your diesel car. All cars require petroleum to function. Now if you accidentally put gasoline (a petroleum product) into a diesel car, that would indeed be a problem. I would think that accidentally putting diesel into a gas car would be much more likely though.

@@TehButterflyEffect Different countries have different words for the same thing.

I do think you're thick. Next time you should ask an old lady to help you cross the road.

"Challenge Accepted!" - the motoring public...

You haven't met the average person it seems

I agree that a sticker helps, but it still doesn't physically stop misfueling. I think this invention is brilliant!

Most the time the mistake is from rushing.

Or having bad eyesight like me 😢

Maybe a flow signal would be better?

This episode is from 2008 I believe so it made more sense back then but without licensing it to a manufacturer it was always gonna be a short lived business once all new cars came with a similar system

That's pie in the sky talk

james caan apparently isn’t a great guy ethics wise from being on the den with investments.

They'd have to, sharing one chair. I reckon Touker would be the one sitting on James' lap. What are your thoughts?

​@@BobbyTMFor to be married to. He fathered a love child with a woman 27 years his junior while still married to his wife

Yes they mentioned ford has that but the idea behind this was to retrofit it to older models that don't have the capless fuel caps fitted but this company has folded now this episode is from years ago

What is a driveway attendant

Umm, diesel nozzles are larger than gasoline nozzles, specifically for the purpose of not being able to fit into the opening on a gasoline engine’s fuel filler neck. That’s the entire point of the product here, to prevent the smaller gasoline nozzle from being put into the opening on a diesel fuel tank. Smaller fits into larger, hence the mistaken filling of a diesel engine with gasoline. Larger does not fit into smaller, which is why people with gasoline engines do not need such a product. So please explain how your engine was going to be mistakenly fueled by a professional fueling attendant.

But at that point you can just sue them

If its the gas station that made the mistake, guess who's liable

No and no

Deal didn't go through, because the company decided 25% was too much. I guess the other three directors couldn't cope with having "only" 18.75% of the company each, rather than 20%.

It's pretty much impossible to put diesel into a petrol engine because of the different sized nozzles. People still accidentally put petrol into a diesel engine and those are the people this product is targetted at.

No, it's still possible. Diesel is the largest one.

Doesn’t stop the smaller nozzle going in.

the world has gone insane. Far too quickly

@@shawnfoogle920 that is very modest of you

This was a number of years ago before the electric anti climax.

electric car sales are tanking... still even if they got a few orders, such a simple product would be going for £4 on aliexpress in a few months time

Yes diesel is bigger. So can’t put diesel in a petrol. Which of course means the smaller petrol nozzle will fit in a diesel filler.

Know 130000 are run of their feet and make a mistake. Rushing is the biggest issue not education.

99% of those are women

I'd imagine that a large percentage of the mis-fuelling would occur with hire cars. It would be well worth these companies installing his product.

Putting regular gas into a vehicle that takes diesel. I imagine operators of vehicle fleets who've dealt with the consequences of such an error by their staff would be the primary audience for this product.

It's when they get to the pump and choose the wrong nozzle that it happens, some pumps now ask whether you want petrol or diesel and will only let that type of nozzle deliver.

people don't read , no point in writing anything anywhere

Yeah and if car crashes were common we could just put a sticker on the windscreen that reads "don't crash"... obv the issue is people not paying attention...

Lease and rentals. Just takes someone not familiar with the car to make that mistake.

The 150 - 200k incidents that the AA have logged in there database tells you it IS a common

Folk do it when not using own vehicle and fuel up.

can’t find them anywhere - not a great sign unless they were bought and trade under a different name. He said DDN ltd right?

Or the council bins guy that didn't own any bins & had no sponsorship at all

This is the part i was thinking, it happens on actual trucks, wholesize need to be large for high flow pumps, so you cant use this in most applications.

I knew a person with such car.. still managed to misfuel

Don't underestimate people's stupidity. I own a fleet company. This happens twice a week. Even when I've specifically told them what fuel to put in and the sign is on the flap.

All cars have rhis

This episode is from 2008 I believe so way before electric cars became popular

What a ridiculous, harsh and childish comment.

@@larry365 lads, we found the Karen mothership

Sorry im blind how am i suppose to be able to see and prevent this problem. Well how you drive then my dog barks once for brake twice for left and three times for right

@@OgglyGoogly I don't get these people. Maybe it's me and I am a genius and I don't even realize. I pull up, ignore the black nozzle, now I have two choices. Expensive petrol or cheaper version. I pick one up and start. It's not that difficult

@@Lonely_Goat so true

Theo the Fetus was the best caption after Pizza Jones

Yes, but would idiots buy such a product? Probably not.

I'm sure you've never made a single mistake in your life.

Lol

in ideal world yes..

A common mistake when driving a work vehicle !

No its not. The diesel pump relies on the diesel fuel for its lubrication. Diesel in a petrol tank isn't good but not fatal.
