I've just watched a women accidentally fill her diesel car half full with unleaded - why can't they just make the nozzles so they won't fit unless it's the correct fuel for the car? Triangular, square and round for example - isn't this a problem which in this day and age shouldn't be possible any more?

Actually there was a guy with a company who retrofits a system like that on Dragon's Den.

They bought into it, but I haven't heard anything since.

Presumably because you'd then get many of the same nitwits pouring the wrong fuel down the side of the car and onto their feet. 🙂

Not if every schoolchild in the land was given one of these, instead of a useless and extravagant laptop.

I know so many execs do this!

I guess it's easy to do when you're half asleep-why are you driving then? 😯

Had a friend use his mobile to ring as he filled his petrol car full of die-(car)sel. 🙄

Get off the phone and don't drive it! 😈

Luckily breakdown service towed car and drained the tank saving engine and fuel pump bill.

Read the pump/lcd screen twice if you have too!

No I didn't realise what had happened until she came out having paid and suddenly started crying.
