The company will equip the future Audi models specific blockers for fuel filler cap, preventing the possibility to fill in a diesel car petrol. Innovation will be available in 2011 on the machines A4, A5 and Q5. The principle of the interlock based on the fact that diesel "guns" at the pump diameter greater than that of gasoline. The mouth of fuel tanks at Audi will be made so that the "gun" closely adjacent to it. Feeling the pressure lock is opened, and fuel will fill the tank. In this case, if the driver tries to fill the car with gasoline, the neck is simply not open. Thus, the Audi engineers are hoping to help their clients, who sometimes make mistakes and fill with petrol diesel cars, which can lead to engine failure. In 2008, the British conducted a study which revealed that 150,000 of their countrymen periodically attempt to fill in their gasoline, diesel cars. To prevent this, the company released the DDN in the local market a special lock, which prevents the ingress of fuel into a diesel tank. Currently, interlocks, taking into account the difference in the construction of gas "guns" for gasoline and diesel fuel, are already being installed, for example, the cars Ford.
