Diesel Pumps at Servos should be clearly indicated.!!

lol, or if the servos not busy and there is only one car filling up with unleaded, that pump will be the one that you need for diesel.

Exploder thats about it!, and when you get there that little note wrapped around the handle PUMP NOT WORKING!.

this really annoys me too - and there is always a wait for the ULP customer to choose which credit card, whtether they have a loyalty card and 'oh - which section of the purse did I put it in' - meantime you can't pull the damn hose over the car if you go the other side of the pump because the oil giants are too mean to put enough hose to reach etc etc etc.............

That would be a sensibe idea.!! One of my old girlfriends mentioned something about Grabibing................Nozzle :)))

A couple of years ago I went to an Ampol Station to fill up.
I was about 55k's from home with the family on board.
It was a multi-nozzle affair with Diesel written in red on the front of the bowser.

The 2 teens started blueing in the back distracting me, sorted them out reached for the red bowser handle, squeezed 110 litres in both tanks. noticed it was very volatile for diesel, turned around and saw that i had the red unleaded handle in my mitt, D'OH.....the diesel handle was black....even though it was spelt out in red letters on the front of the bowser....

Cost of Tow truck home around $250
110 Litres of unleaded at about 85.9cpl back then...
Drive the Missuses PT Cruiser back to pick them up....embarrassment factor x 5
Time wasted around 5 hours because of the wait for a tow truck
Health damage from siphoning out the petrol, immeasurable

Have since gone back there and the bowser's signage has been changed to reduce confusion. Notably Diesel is now written in black...

Evidently nobodys nose knows!

Cheers.

Hahahaha Axle, the Devil made me do it :)))))

You were talking about a obvious problem which may take common sense to solve!!. All to hard for them.

Bring that one on Jeff. At least the with Caltex down the road, I can find the Diesel pump there. It's the one out in the weather. LOL

Hi Des

Yeh will only get sun burn though it dosn't rain any more. Ha Ha

Too true and with my noggin, I get more than my share of sun. LOL

I have a piece of stiff wire for that purpose.
It hooks into a little existing hole in the filler cover on the Nissan for storage while traveling.
I slip it into the bowser trigger lock holes when i am filling up and away it goes while i check other things.
Though lately i have found some that don't have the old holes in them in this case i have found that the filler cap fits in nicely between the trigger and the handle to hold it open at a reasonable rate...

Im with you Wayne..the filler cap it a perfect fit most times but another idea.... The old 1kg fire extinguishers has a pulll pin, loop with a straight pin. Stainless steel and perfect fit on a keyring.

I was always going to get around to grabbing one so I can use the old lock out holes, just slip it in and pump away.

Dont need to now, just use the filler cap!

Matt.

Easy to find the LPG pump - its right by the diesel pump. Now, which two fuels take longest to fill?

Dutifully went into the BP near the Tuckerbox at Gundagai the other day, followed the "cars and caravans" sign to the usual chaos of gas and diesel. Looked over and the "trucks only" pumps had zilch trucks. Wish I could have got out of the mess, but then, they say truckies carry iron bars!!!

LOL

Now that I have a truck which runs on diesel AND gas, I'm really glad that the 2 bowsers are side by side at my local BP servo. I can be filling the oily stuff at the same time as the gaseous stuff.....too easy japaneesey

Roachie........ Don't get ya nozzle mixed up!!. :)).

Cheers Axle
