minus-squaremipadaitu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·5 months agoDiesel are often entire separate sections of the gas station. Most of the pumps in the US have the same hose for 87/89/92 octane pumps that are E10 (10% Ethanol) and if there is a higher ethanol like E15 or E85, they’re usually a separate hose.
