The green one was hanging in the pump. I freaked for a minute then realized I was at the BP. Damn, talk about a heart test. Here's hoping for another trouble free 200k.
they've been doing that for a while. Black handle for diesel freaking idiots. They're screwing up a lot of folks doing that crap. Green handle for diesel. What's so hard about that?

I'd say you about did have a heart attack

No kidding. What if the electricians did that. "Oh, let's make the ground wire black on this one. They'll figure it out." Plumbers: "Hey Bill, lets have some fun. We'll make the left side cold in the master bath. Keep 'em guessing."
Green is diesel..... Everywhere!
Edit: Even in Canada

That's called passive-aggressive - really, a coward's way of trolling...

Mr. Krewat loves us really. He's just got to get in and out fast so he doesn't get any on him.

I could set up a lawn chair and sit at a boat launch all day watching people try to load their boats. It’s one of my favourite places at the lake. I drop my wife off at the dock, she backs in, I drive the pontoon boat right into the trailer and we are gone. Less than 2min to load and clear the launch. People are amazed at our system.

Here we have yellow handles for diesel at some locations. Card lock handles are all black but the bigger pumps won’t fit gas vehicles at card locks. They changed the colouring a few years back and it can get confusing.

Bowtie..... Man you dodged a bullet. Go pick yourself up a lotto ticket. Under $1000 for gas in a diesel, you’ve already won.

Krewat..... I love passive aggressive trolling. Keep it up 👍

Found a pic of my old vehicles today showing my Excursion and '04 Vette. Loved that Excursion until the rear main seal went. Repair involved taking body off frame to repair. Traded it immediately and got more than I paid for it! Almost wished I kept it...




Maybe this belongs in the random pic thread, sorry Teddy eh?
