Owners of new Audi diesel cars no longer face the risk of accidentally filling up with petrol, thanks to new technology.
Drivers of 2011 Model Year Audi A4, A5 and Q5 TDI cars thanks to a new preventative system built into the fuel filler neck which uses an internal flap to prevent fuel delivery and spillage.
In a statement, Audi commented that instances of 'misfuelling’ have risen significantly in recent years due to improvements in refinement made by the brand’s TDI models, which thanks to high pressure common rail injection technology operate almost as smoothly and quietly as their petrol counterparts.
"This latest advance will of course be of particular interest to companies running vehicle fleets, but it will also provide reassurance for private customers making the switch from petrol, and those who aren’t the sole user of their car," added the company.
Earlier this week, Audi announced it is set to post record vehicle sales in 2010, despite the difficult economic climate faced by the auto industry over the last year.
