So heres the plan ....

All diesel owners WILL do this now, whether you feel ur intellegent or not it could happen to you in a moment of madness and your going to be paying the bill so... to save your

Get a Superb diesel .....you get it printed twice and stuck on already for you

Save paper and ink, and engage the brain when pulling up at the pump, looking for the black nozzle and words "Diesel".

Being a stingy bu99er, I check the price being displayed. That makes it obvious it's diesel!

I also follow the delivery hose back from the nozzle to the pump to make sure they haven't got swapped over. Colour doesn't help: Shell diesel pumps are blue; Sainsbury's are yellow.

I havent had a diesel pump that isnt black. But even so, I still check the wording on the nozzle cap anyway.

Harsh but fair

I have one petrol and one diesel

the petrol you cant get the diesel nozzle in anyway. But the diesel..... my trick it always have it filthy as hell around the filler car, covered in spills, its gets all over your hands, and stinks. no prob there:)

but here diesel is yellow, petrol SP 95 SP 98 (dont have 91) are green, have to watch you dont mess up and use a SUPER they are blue! this is LEADED petrol, yes you can still get that over here in about 30% of garages.
