Oooof. I've seen someone at a gas station do something similar -- I cannot remember if it was putting diesel in their gasoline car, or gas in their diesel pickup, but I *do* remember the sudden yelp and look of dismay when they suddenly realized what they were doing. It must be really easy to get wrong in a car (operating on autopilot), but that's a much less bad failure than a generator...
The diesel nozzle has a larger diameter than the gasoline one. It doesn't fit in the filler neck of a normal gasoline-powered car. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill () herrin us https://bill.herrin.us/
