COSMOS

Cosmos on AutoMotoPart is a practical accessory range rather than a vehicle-specific parts catalogue. Plastic fuel containers form the largest group, with 5-litre petrol or unleaded cans and 5, 10 and 20-litre diesel cans represented. Rubber single mats, grey Defender seat-cover sets, a beaded seat cushion, seat-belt pads and a bulk disposable service-protection kit cover the cabin. An ice scraper with mitt and a scraper/squeegee/sponge tool serve winter cleaning, while the 500 ml Delta500 Lith-Safe aerosol extinguisher is a specialist safety item.

Select every item from its actual substance, dimensions, vehicle interface and stated safety approval, not from colour or the Cosmos name. The current AutoMotoPart selection contains 20 Cosmos items, led by 13 maintenance entries, 6 accessories & styling entries, 1 site safety entry. These Cosmos figures describe the range on this page rather than every product the brand may make elsewhere.

For fuel cans, read the moulded markings and product instructions to confirm permitted fuel, UN approval where required, nominal capacity, date or condition, cap, seal and spout. Red, green or black colouring is a helpful workshop convention but not proof of contents. Never put petrol into a container whose instructions exclude petroleum spirit, and do not use a diesel-only can for petrol. Keep cans upright, secured, out of living accommodation and away from heat and ignition; an apparently empty petrol can can still contain flammable vapour.

Mats and covers must stay clear of pedals, seat controls, belts and airbags. Do not stack a loose mat or fit a seat accessory across an unverified deployment seam. Scrapers should remove loose ice without damaging glass, seals or embedded heating elements. A small specialist extinguisher must match the stated fire type and current instructions and must never encourage tackling a growing battery or fuel fire instead of escaping and calling emergency services. Use the page neutrally, checking each product independently before use.

Cosmos: understand the range before choosing

The Cosmos identity is best handled through the products shown rather than an unsupported corporate biography. This 20-item collection brings together plastic fuel containers, interior protection and winter-cleaning accessories, plus one specialist aerosol extinguisher. Fuel cans form half of the listings and carry the greatest handling risk, so liquid identity, container approval, closure and storage must lead selection.

AutoMotoPart currently lists 20 Cosmos items. The largest Cosmos groups are 13 maintenance entries, 6 accessories & styling entries, 1 site safety entry. Cosmos totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact Cosmos listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.

What the Cosmos page actually covers

Product group in this rangeCurrent entriesSelection focus
Maintenance13Match petrol or diesel, container marking, approval, capacity, closure, spout and legal storage context.
Accessories & Styling6Inspect a fuel can for swelling, cracks, UV damage, cap seal and contamination before filling.
Site Safety1Choose a rubber mat by dimensions, footwell shape, retention and full pedal clearance.

Ten of the 20 titles combine fuel and plastic, with six diesel and four petrol or unleaded listings including duplicates. Six accessories cover seats, belts or mats; two items scrape ice, one is a 250-set service-protection pack and one is a specialist aerosol extinguisher. This mixed range has no common compatibility rule. Each item must be assessed by its own material, marking and task.

Build a reliable shortlist

Decide first whether the job is to contain fuel, protect a footwell or seat, remove ice, protect a vehicle during service or prepare for a specific fire risk. Write down capacity and dimensions where relevant, then inspect the product marking and the vehicle. Do not transfer assumptions from one Cosmos group to another.

CheckWhy it mattersUseful evidence
Fuel identityPetrol vapour and diesel have different hazards and container restrictionsFuel label, container marking and current instructions
Container approvalColour and capacity do not prove suitability for storage or carriageUN marking where required, closure design and applicable rules
Footwell fitA moving mat can obstruct accelerator, brake or clutch travelMeasured footwell, secure retention and pedal movement check

Glass contactHard debris or a damaged edge can scratch glass and sealsClean scraper edge, thawing method and glass equipment
Fire responseExtinguisher media and capacity have defined applications and limitsProduct label, fire plan, escape route and trained use

Where a fuel-can listing and its instructions appear contradictory, the safe response is not to infer from the title or colour. Verify the moulded approval and manufacturer documentation or choose a clearly specified container. Never relabel a can in a way that hides its original limitations.

Petrol and diesel fuel cans

The Cosmos evidence includes 5-litre red petrol and green unleaded cans plus black diesel containers at 5, 10 and 20 litres. Some product descriptions warn against petroleum spirit despite a petrol-facing title, so the physical container marking and current documentation must settle suitability. Do not use a marketing name as permission to fill.

HSE guidance for Great Britain permits defined petrol quantities only in suitable portable containers and sets domestic storage conditions. Place a portable can on the ground when filling, leave the specified expansion space, close it immediately and wipe contamination from the exterior. Transport upright and secured against movement, and remove it from the vehicle when prolonged carriage is unnecessary.

Fuel storage, vapour and decanting

Petrol gives off readily ignitable vapour, and an empty can can remain hazardous. Store permitted quantities in a cool, ventilated location outside living accommodation, away from children, drains, direct sun, chargers, switches, flames and hot equipment. Follow local rules because limits and enforcement arrangements differ across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Allow machinery to cool and decant outdoors or in the controlled setting stated by workplace procedures. Use the proper spout without siphoning by mouth, and prevent static and spills. Never mix unknown fuel or return contaminated liquid to fresh stock. Dispose of unusable fuel and damaged containers through an authorised route rather than drains or ordinary waste.

Mats, seat covers, cushions and belt pads

The Ranger and Van Mate mats are single rubber products, so compare their published dimensions with the actual footwell. Place the mat directly on the floor, use secure retention where provided and check accelerator, brake and clutch pedals through full travel. A heavy-duty description does not guarantee a vehicle-specific outline.

Defender seat covers are described for high-backed seats with airbag and armrest provisions, but exact suitability still needs checking against SRS labels and seat shape. Keep buckles, pretensioner wiring, head restraints and adjusters accessible. A beaded cushion must not alter stable seating or head-restraint position, and belt pads must not stop the belt retracting, lying flat or contacting the occupant as designed.

Ice scrapers and disposable service protection

Cosmos ice products combine a scraper with a mitt or with a squeegee and sponge. Remove loose snow first, use vehicle-approved de-icer if needed and let the demister work. Do not pour hot water onto frozen glass. Check the scraper edge for grit or damage and work away from rubber seals, cameras, sensors and delicate printed heating or aerial elements.

The 250-set disposable service-protection kit is intended to separate footwear, hands or workshop contact from cabin surfaces according to its contents. Fit pieces without obstructing pedals or controls, and remove them before vehicle handover. Disposable covers do not replace clean working practices and should be contained after use if they carry oil, fuel or chemical residue.

The Delta500 aerosol extinguisher has a defined role

The single safety product is titled as a 500 ml Lith-Safe aerosol extinguisher. Check its label and safety data for intended fire classes, operating distance, temperature, storage, shelf life and disposal. Do not treat a small aerosol as universal protection for a traction battery, large workshop fire, fuel spill or an enclosed smoke-filled vehicle.

Raise the alarm, stop only if safe and keep a clear escape behind you. Battery fires can re-ignite and release hazardous gases; evacuate and call emergency services rather than approaching a growing fire. Inspect the container for corrosion, leakage, damage or expiry and replace it after any discharge. A vehicle or workplace fire plan should select equipment from the assessed risks, not from one convenient can size.

From identification to a checked result

StageGood practice for this rangeMistake to avoid
DefineName the fuel, vehicle interface, winter task or assessed fire riskChoosing from colour or generic accessory wording
InspectRead markings and check container, mat, cover, tool or aerosol conditionUsing cracked plastic or damaged securing parts

StoreSecure, clean and segregate items and replace expired or contaminated productsLeaving fuel or an aerosol in heat or living space

Keep fuel identity and fill date clear without covering approval markings, and periodically inspect can seals. Record vehicle assignment for mats or seat covers so they are not moved casually to another cabin. Include the extinguisher in the relevant inspection and replacement schedule.

Reading real Cosmos references

The Cosmos names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal Cosmos recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within Cosmos, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.

Example listingWhat to verify beyond the name
Beaded Seat CushionFuel, approval marking, capacity, cap, seal, spout and storage
Large Ranger Mat - Rubber - Black - SingleMat dimensions, retention, footwell and pedal clearance

Repeated fuel-can titles and colours should not hide the need to inspect the actual moulded markings. Likewise, pair, single or set describes quantity for cabin accessories but not vehicle fit. Read the complete Cosmos listing and the product itself.

Common errors around Cosmos products

  • Putting petrol into a Cosmos container without confirming it is approved and marked for that fuel.
  • Using colour as the only identification of the liquid inside a can.
  • Overfilling, leaving a can in direct sun or storing petrol in living accommodation.
  • Transporting an unsecured can or ignoring flammable vapour in an empty container.
  • Stacking a rubber mat or accepting any contact with pedal travel.
  • Fitting seat covers or cushions without checking airbags, belts and head-restraint position.
  • Scraping gritty glass or using hot water to remove ice.
  • Treating a 500 ml aerosol extinguisher as suitable for every vehicle or battery fire.

Cosmos questions and answers

Q: What products are in the Cosmos range?

A: It includes plastic fuel cans, rubber mats, seat covers and accessories, ice tools, service protection and one aerosol extinguisher.

Q: Does can colour prove which fuel it holds?

A: No. Read the moulded approval, product label and current contents; colour is only a secondary aid.

Q: Can any plastic can hold petrol?

A: No. Use only a suitable container approved and marked for petrol under the applicable rules.

Q: Can a diesel can be reused for petrol?

A: Do not do so unless the exact container documentation expressly permits it and contamination is controlled.

Q: Is an empty petrol can safe indoors?

A: No. Residual vapour can remain flammable, so close and store it under the same safety controls.

Q: How should a fuel can be transported?

A: Keep it closed, upright, secured against movement and carried only within applicable rules and quantities.

Q: Can a Cosmos mat sit over the original mat?

A: No. Fit it directly and securely so it cannot move or obstruct any pedal.

Q: Are Defender covers safe for every side-airbag seat?

A: No. Confirm exact seat shape, SRS position and product-specific airbag provision before fitting.

Q: Can a seat-belt pad affect safety?

A: It must not stop the belt retracting, lying flat or loading the occupant as designed.

Q: What is the safest way to remove windscreen ice?

A: Clear loose snow, use approved demisting or de-icer methods and a clean undamaged scraper without hot water.

Q: Will the Delta500 handle any lithium battery fire?

A: Do not assume so. Check its stated fire class and limitations and prioritise alarm, evacuation and emergency services.

Q: What should be inspected regularly?

A: Check fuel-can plastic and seals, mat and cover security, scraper edges and extinguisher condition and expiry.
