Can get a few boxes of these. Wonder if they would sell or are they just a novelty?

They used to sell these in Poundland, I don't think anyone would buy them unless they were for hire cars or something

Having that screaming at you, you'd look like a right twat!
Saying that, you'd probably forget how much of a twat you looked in a few days anyway

Most modern diesels wont actually let you put petrol in them now so I don't think they would sell tbh

I swap between petrol and diesel cars on a regular basis and I can't say I've ever got it wrong.

Other way round, the petrol pump is smaller. It's to stop you putting diesel in a petrol
Ian you've just jinxed yourself now!
