Personally, i can never understand how someone can misfuel their vehicle.

Green = Petrol.
Black = Diesel.

Perhaps there is just  lot of hot totty about these days filling up thier vehicles, and its a distraction?  :D

Bet u now i will also misfuel my van now i have said this...

I'm sure even without this device, you will never make this mistake again  ;D
Still, what's £40 for the piece of mind ? Weigh that up against the cost and inconvenience of a misfuel. These could be a good idea if you have staff.

I have to remind myself every time I fill our family petrol car because I'm so used to filling diesel vans. It wasn't a problem for years because our family cars had been diesel also for years.

Hello Simon

Can you put diesel in an unleaded vehicle?

Thought diesel nozzle was to big to fit in unleaded

Or have I misunderstood 😬

Put half a tank in van today even though I was 100 % correct

I still had jelly legs 😱

I don't know? Or is it the other way round? What I do know is as I approach the pump I just mutter 'petrol, petrol, petrol' to myself over and over lol.

Petrol nozzles will fit in diesel, diesel won’t fit in Petrol
