What a totally useless writeup. “just because I haven’t done it…”
Well MILLIONS of people have done it and if you ever DO do it I hope it costs you THE best part of a week’s paypacket to put it right, just to have it emptied out, Because that it what it costs, and so what this gadget potentially saves. Oh I am thinking an overpaid writer earns £500 a week.
Cor I could be a writer.

Bruce, you just identified that people from the UK are jerks! John’s comment is completely honest as I had the same question. What if these were made in the US with the color designations opposite of that in the UK, you would have the same question you wanker. Don’t be so quick to judge because if it were not for us(US) you might be speaking German. Gehen und spielen mit den schwestern spielzeug.

this happens all the time in europe. deisel is used for cars quite often and so the mistake can be made easily. i’ve done it a couple times myself.

John, you just identified that the whole universe doesn’t revolve around America (in spite of what Americans think!). These products are from the UK, where PETROL (we use gas for cooking!) is unleaded and identified in green, and diesel is identified in black, hence the product colours.
A larger diesel nozzle doesn’t stop someone from filling a diesel with ‘regular’/'gasoline’/'unleaded petrol’ and destroying the engine & fuel system.

I guess the product might be especially applicable to American visitors to the UK who rent a vehicle!!
