Re: [A/S] Diesel fuel availability

Hi, Dean:

         Do you mean the body of the pump is green, or are you referring to 
the cover on the nozzle?  Some stations use a yellow cover on the diesel 
and a green one on the gasoline.  Very confusing, IMO.
         The latest Trailer Life has a complaint from a customer who went 
to a Pilot station and found that all their nozzles were green (he did not 
see that until after he had put 20 gal of unleaded gasoline into his diesel 
truck.  Had to have the tank pumped out, at considerable cost.  Pilot 
refused to accept any responsibility, as their pumps are clearly 
marked.)  I have seen the same thing at other stations.  I have a  gasoline 
engine in my Suburban, and find the use of green covers on the nozzles is 
increasing. You must always verify that you are using the diesel nozzle.
