when we were in Ireland, we had a diesel rental.. pulled into station, grab the green handle and started pumping. a man asked if I knew I was putting regular gas in my diesel car. I said it has a green handle. He said I must be an American. over there it is green for gas. opposite from us.
Boy, have I got news for you, my friend. IN THE US, THERE IS _NO_ STANDARD COLOR FOR PUMP HANDLES. Not green=diesel, not anything else for any other fuel. Not anywhere.
I have seen black, green, orange, yellow, and red handles on both gas and diesel pumps. If you go by pump handle color, you can wind up with anything. READ THE FRICKING _SIGN_.
