one day they will fit different size fuel filler pipes to ALL cars/vans

True, petrol engine will run with a bit of diesel. A few years ago when coming back from the UK having bought a Fazer 400 for my eldest son, we were diverted off the M4 around Bristol, we stopped at a small petrol station and filled the newly bought Fazer 400 and a 04 model CBR 600 from the same petrol pump. By the time we got to junction 23A there was some amount of smoke from both bikes, we stopped at Junction 23A and discovered we had diesel contamination, it had to be contamination as both bike were close to reserve when we had stopped in the Bristol and we filled from the same petrol pump. Since we had no idea how to find the station we filled at, we siphoned about half of the tanks into cans we bought in J23A filling station and filled both tanks with fresh petrol.
Trusty Fazer 400 was bit slow starting, but there was no way we could start the CBR.  We put the CBR on a recovery truck to Pembroke, pushed on to the ferry and had it collected in Rosslare by a friend in his van. The Fazer 400 ran with out issue home to Cork. We had to drain the everything out of the CBR and fit new plugs before we could get it to fire again.  :rolleyes

Once filled Honda CX 500 with petrol which proved to be contaminated with diesel-Ran like a bloody tractor til I stopped then NO WAy ould it restart. Ended up syphoning all fuel out 21/2gallons-wouldnt even start with fresh petrol in tank. Recovered home & ended up stripping carbs/cleaning. Bike eventually ran better than before but garage(that I used regularly for both filling works van-diesel & my bikes-petrol denied all responsibility(of course) & suggested id filled up with wrong fuel! Told them I knew the difference between GREEN hose & BLACK one!
