Paul,
When I was a EC in town, the young after school shop boy with the company I worked for at the time proved why you should always make sure that you know what the vehicle you are driving runs on.
The vehicle, a Mitsi L300 van was nearly empty, so as you do, he proceeded to fill it up.
I got a ring from my boss later on to tow the van back to the yard, because it was full of diesel.
I looked in the tank filler tube and yes it was. [Linked Image]
My boss at the time even showed the young fella the label on the inside of the filler cap: 91 Unleaded Only.
At the PoCo, we have our own filling station and it only gives diesel.
Our whole fleet runs on it, so you could say it is idiot-proof.
However, to change the subject if I may, I like the idea of Bio-Diesel. [Linked Image]

Latest news in NZ is that Caltex is increasing diesel by 9 cts per litre and petrol by 7 cts a litre as from midnight 24.00 hrs for commercial users.
Imagine what that will do to transport costs.

>>Here in the states, the handles aren't color coded per say. But, the containers definatelty are. Red-gasoline Yellow-Diesel Blue-Kerosene There is also a green but I can't recall what it is.<<

Funny too, because the diesel pump nozzles in the US are green(!). Go figure..

Edmonton Aberta:
91 Octane - Between 99.9cents and $105.5/litre;
95 Octane - Between $1.08.6 and $110.9/litre;
Diesel - 95.5 cents per litre.

And we pump all that stuff out of the ground right here in Alberta and refine it in Edmonton!
