I can't see the manufacturers adopting this (good idea as it is) since it will add 5 pence to the production cost.

What would be handy would be for someone to devise a way to stop you loading petrol into a diesel filler nozzle. The other way round is not possible due to the narrow filler neck on petrol cars.

What about utilising the number plate recognition systems at the forecourt to inhibit anything but the correct fuel?

I suppose this would be bad for manufacturers too as they would lose out on the high cost of draining a diesel system and repairing all the damaged injection equipment.
