x_in_mo is on a distinguished road
Thanks for the replies. Don't worry, I'm not going to touch the darn thing, even if I would like to. I have a healthy respect for fuel. I've watched idiots ignite way too many things with diesel AND gasoline. It just strikes me as OVERLY cautious on BMWs part, and they realize it will happen hence the silly funnel. I know there would be more mis-fueling mishaps if they didn't, but still, I dislike the nanny thing.

Believe it or not, the station I've used is a Phillips 66 C store right on a major highway. Lots of tourist traffic. It looks like a regular diesel pump, "green handle" and all, but it isn't. You can see the extra width of the nozzle. I did hit another C store this morning, Conoco branded, and they had the skinnier nozzle.

I'll just keep going back to the Conoco C store. It will be fun to see what I find in a month when I drive across the southwest. ;-)
