The craziest in-car automotive gadgets

Gadgets from the automotive world that'll make you say "Wow, that’s cool!" or "Wow, that's... ridiculous."

Fuel Checker


Introducing quite possibly the most pointless of gadgets to grace the automotive market: the Fuel Checker.

The Fuel Checker is a small device that hooks onto the inside of your car's fuel cap and detects whether or not your putting the wrong petrol into your car. When the petrol pump is inserted into the tank, lights on the device blink red if the fuel is the wrong type or shine green if it is correct.

Instead of knowing what petrol to put into your own car, putting a sticker behind the petrol cap as a reminder to others or merely reading the distinctive label on the pump at every petrol station, you can pick up the handy Fuel Checker to save your car the deadly common mistake of using the wrong petrol.
