Stopspill – First fuel anti-syph device with an anti-splash valve
Anti-syphon devices stop thieves from siphoning fuel out of vehicles and are well worth the investment for any business as they can save hundreds of pounds of stolen fuel. There are a few devices on the market but aide automotive are delighted to launch the first that acts as a deterrent to fuel theft and fuel safety in one go!
With Corporate Responsibility being top of most organisation’s agendas these days, this device gives businesses the chance to comply. Diesel spillage is a dangerous problem. Diesel on the road can be as slippery as black ice and a potential hazard to most road users. Even a few litres can cause a potentially lethal accident. In the UK you can be fined £5,000, along with six points on your licence. You may also be liable for the costs of cleaning up the spill and repairing the road surface – and your insurance rating will suffer. The worst scenario can be a charge of corporate manslaughter.
The following accident statistics from the Department of Transport are only an indicator of the scale of the problem.
- 22 people have died on the roads between 2000 and 2005;
- 595 serious accidents on the roads between 2000 and 2005;
- 617 Killed or Seriously Injured accidents on the roads between 2000 and 2005;
- 3,020 accidents resulting in slight injury between 2000 and 2005;
- Oil / Diesel related accidents in 2005 have cost society £33,543,280
