A very senior moment
#13
So I had a mild panic attack this afternoon. I was just finishing filling up my jeep, when I realized I had a green handle in my hand. Going by Woofs statement about diseal having the green handle, i started doubting my sanity, (not the 1st time). The I remembered I was at a BP station. They are backwards. The green hand is for gas and the black handle is for diseal. I felt like an idiot.

WOW! Easy enough to make that mistake in either direction.
I remember back in the day when unleaded first came out in the states. The old leaded filler neck was huge compared to the smaller neck of the unleaded and simply wouldn't fit in the filler hole of an unleaded car. I'm not sure, haven't owned a diesel here, but I think diesel necks are bigger and won't fit in unleaded vehicles. When filling a bike, the difference in size would give a person a visual clue as to what you would be pumping. I can't believe how similar those you posted look alike.
