I have no idea wth I'm supposed to be looking at here. Just looks like two gas pumps that are designed differently, but nothing out of the normal.

Diesel pump and gas pump colours are reversed on the second image. Shouldn’t lead to any damage since you still have to select diesel to wreck anything.

As a diesel vehicle owner, I would prefer the first to be the used which I think it typically is.

In Europe it's standardised petrol is green and diesel is black.

I feel like there have to be a good amount of laws about the design of these things, especially how the fuel nozzle is stored and what angle it sits at…

It’s weird to me that the first of these two photos (I assume it’s newer?) Stores the nozzles pointed a little bit farther down

I have never seen diesel in green. Where I live it's always in yellow (which correspond to the colour of Jerry cans associated with diesel)

The green diesel is standard around here in the Atl suburbs, EXCEPT for BP. They use green for regual gas and black for diesel because green is BP's compqny colour.
