That’s exactly what I was getting at. Original commenter accused him of buying diesel and photoshopping the receipt. Since diesel nozzles are larger, it wouldn’t have fit. We’re on the same side here chum.

Hey, moron... He didn’t use a diesel nozzle, so nozzle size is irrelevant. They had diesel in their premium underground tank. Read more

Yes. You cannot fit a diesel nozzle in a gasoline car tank. The supplier probably pumped it into the underground tank. Read more

I’ve seen that warning on plenty of receipts. I uploaded the receipt, and all I did was highlight where it says “PREM” and blacked out the digits of his card. Read more

The station tank was probably half or more full of 91 octane when the diesel was added so that could be why it ran ok on diesel. Read more

Even though not all diesel pumps are high-volume with 30mm OD nozzles, they are still different (24mm OD) than unleaded gasoline nozzles (21mm OD). Read more

Also diesel wouldn’t/didn’t cost that much out there so it was definitely a station screw up.

Diesel is cheaper than that in the region, $3.45 a gallon is the price for premium at a near by station and $3.09 is the price for diesel.

I was pretty sure they were marginally larger for just that reason. I think I remember my mom once saying she went to fill up and couldn’t figure out why the nozzle wouldn’t fit until she realized that it was the wrong one. I don’t think older cars have that distinction, but I’m not sure when it started. I know 60's Read more

Aren’t diesel filler nozzles larger than gasoline?

This article has put the fear in me ! Around the corner from my location is a BP station. The gasoline (I hope) handles are green. I’ve been filling up my project car with a gas can, so the size difference between nozzles won’t matter. The car is running poorly...But I checked the pump...It said gasoline...Again, I Read more

Seeing as the green diesel nozzles are larger and won’t fit into a normal gasoline tank filler, I’d doubt it was your mistake anyways. You have to really try to get that wrong. It’s gotta be a screwup at the station. Read more
