I think that when a "standard" is adhered to, Green seems to be most widely
used for Diesel fuel nozzles. At least that's what I encountered last year
in driving to the West coast and back. Around here in the mid-Atlantic
region, only BP has been reported to deviate from that, and that may have
been due to some non-cognizant "repair" man - perhaps even color-blind!
It would be interesting to find out if there is such a "standard", and if
the various regulatory agencies a)know about it, and b)should enforce it.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Bluetec word used in place of Diesel?
BP uses a black handle for diesel.
Diesel goes into a yellow can, not a green one, so where did the green
thing come from anyway?
Kero goes in a blue can, if i am not mistaken and gas in red, of course.

There are some Mobil stations here in AZ (where I stop to get Joe, not
fuel)
whose diesel pumps hoses and handles are yellow.
