    His profit figures were excellent and his initial offer of 20% for £250K was actually a pretty good deal. Deborah's offer of £250K for 35% was extremely greedy and then she threw a childish strop when he negotiated with the other dragons without first rejecting her greedy offer. Something he was perfectly entitled to do.

    • @vashuchiha117

      To be fair it wasn't a negotiation really, he never offered her a negotiation, Duncan got him to reveal that he had a 25% cap. Most would be annoyed at not getting told something like that up front, she did decrease her offer when it was revealed, he still chose her half offer. She had easily went to a half partner offer with another dragon, greedy would have been holding her ground on the 35% and saying she's out because she had felt offended about not being told about an offer cap up front, a move that the investors on shark tank are known for making.

    In about 40 years in the motor trade I have repaired hundreds of misfuelled cars very,very,very rarely does it result in more than a tank flush,filter and fresh fuel. Also he is mistaken, many manufacturers have already implimented systems into their filler necks.There is no mention of wether they comply with c+u regulations or the fact that their use would now be deeemed a modification and failing to notify insurers could see you uninsured and/or liable in the event anything occurring while it was fitted,especially so without DOT approval.

      Umm, diesel nozzles are larger than gasoline nozzles, specifically for the purpose of not being able to fit into the opening on a gasoline engine’s fuel filler neck. That’s the entire point of the product here, to prevent the smaller gasoline nozzle from being put into the opening on a diesel fuel tank. Smaller fits into larger, hence the mistaken filling of a diesel engine with gasoline. Larger does not fit into smaller, which is why people with gasoline engines do not need such a product.
      So please explain how your engine was going to be mistakenly fueled by a professional fueling attendant.

    I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I could NOT see myself putting gasoline on a diesel car or vice-versa. I may get the point if we're talking about a fleet whose employees refuel the cars, maybe they could misfuel the cars here and there, but nonetheless I see only a "niche" market for that product. But hey, I could be wrong and maybe the company made millions, who knows? Right? 🤔
