14 cans that rough. I think it was last year one of the corner stores in town got new pumps and added in a diesel pump. I watched some girl beat on the filler neck of her new Chevy trying to fit the diesel pump handle in it.

Needless to say he now has about 4 gas cans of E85 sitting at home now
Me thinks someone screwed up and put the wrong cover on the handle because all diesel handles are supposed to be yellow and gas is supposed to be green.

Shell will sometimes use red for the "v-power" premium gas

BP Amoco will use silver for silver grade and gold for the gold grade gas
