Its called making a mistake, like everyone else does. Unless you think police officers have an extra organ that helps them prevent mis-fuelling.

I agree :y

However when filling i always wait for the pump to turn off all the other prices of fuel it dispenses...so making sure ive not picked up the premium diesel nozzle.....im not colour blind and can tell the difference between black and green nozzles....but even if i did put petrol in error....my local garage charges £100 for a tow and flush ( i suspect thats cheap ) and not summat i would want to pay for a silly mistake :y
