    My car is a diesel, but if I picked up the wrong petrol hose at the garage the nozzle would not fit into the petrol tank, so then I would realize that it's the wrong one. Also most petrol pump hoses for diesel are a green colour.

    No they aren't, they're black. Green is unleaded.

    I nearly did it myself a couple of months back while in a hire car. I've had diesels for years so just subconsciously pulled up and picked up the diesel pump. Luckily the nozzle was too fat so I realised before I could start filling it up. Disaster averted.

    Done it twice in last 5 years. Put unleaded in my car when I first got it about 4 years ago and then some how out Deisel in my Wifes unleaded car a couple of years later.

    Got quite a bit of hammer for it from mates lol.

    My mates garrage only charged 80 quid so I saved on what AA wanted to charge me

    I did it in Adam's Merc once. At the time I was driving 4 different cars regularly (mix of diesel/petrol/manual/auto) and got confused. Luckily I only put about £2.50 of unleaded in before it clicked. I just filled tank right up with diesel and got away with it fortunately. I was only meant to be putting £20 in though and it ended up costing me about £60 to fill it up.
