It would be very unlikely that the wrong fuel was loaded at the depot, particularly if it was from a large depot such as in
Adelaide, as they are computer controlled, and the product code for Diesel and Petrol are different. Load numbers have specific codes and volumes associated with them. It is more likely that the driver made the mistake at the delivery site.
This may not necessarily be entirely the drivers fault, as some sites, particularly older sites may not have clearly marked inlet points. Inlet points are generally colour coded, but colours do fade.
Whilst the colour and appearance of unleaded and diesel is different, as someone else has pointed out, once you put the nozzle of the pump into your foul inlet, you can no longer see the the fuel.
