There are three nozzle sizes (4 if you count aircraft). Diesel comes in medium and large. Even the medium size nozzle will NOT fit into the opening in a "modern" gasser. This is designed to keep dumb-a** gas users from putting diesel in their tank.
I've seen them try and be really mad at the pump.
Doesn't keep us from putting gas in our diesel tanks, though.

Well, actually it's to keep people from putting leaded fuel into a car with a catalytic converter. Leaded fuel hasn't been sold in the U.S. for 30+ years. Back in the late 70's, a lot of people would knock the restrictor flap out of the end of a tank fill pipe. When I taught my niece to drive, I drilled into her head that she MUST read what the pump is before filling the fuel tank.
