Response 3:
I can confirm that there is no information held by Dyfed-Powys Police due to the fact that no special measures have been put into place, as modern vehicles do not allow the wrong fuel nozzle to be put into the vehicles currently operated.
Response 4:
I can confirm that there is no information held by Dyfed-Powys Police due to the fact that zero (0) police vehicles are recorded as breaking down as a result of running out of fuel.
It should be noted that as a result of the systems adopted by Dyfed-Powys Police in relation to the recording of such information that the information released may or may not be accurate.
