According to the AA Trust, around 120,000 motorists fill their car's tank with the wrong fuel every year. Putting petrol in a modern diesel engine can easily wreck the injection system, but Dieselguard, a box that sticks to the inside of the fuel filler flap and uses the same principle as birthday cards that play a tune when opened, warns the user in a synthesised voice to "insert diesel fuel only".

Those really annoying musical greetings cards - the ones that play a tinny version of happy birthday when you open them - are the unlikely inspiration for a new motoring invention.

Called Diesel Guard, the gadget is the size of a matchbox and can be attached to the inside of an oil-burner’s fuel filler flap. When the flap is opened, the device’s built-in photocell triggers the sound chip and a voice reminds the driver to fill with derv, not petrol. The unit has been specially developed for use in a petro-chemical environment.
