Diesel

[Thaifan2]

Just bought a Toyota Hiace van ,9 years old and Diesel .May sound like a stupid question but how do i recognise the Diesel pump at petrol stations ? .Is bio Diesel OK to use in this van ?

Easy, just stop at the black pump and say diesel to the attendant. Same word in Thai, and they usually know it is a diesel anyway.

Just one small , inconsequential question if I may be so bold , what happens if a person is colour-blind ?

Easy, you open your mouth and use the word "diesel" or more commonly known as "solah".

Edit: Most diesel in Thailand is actually B2. 2% Bio-diesel and 98% Diesel fuel mix.

At Shell. Black is diesel & dark bkue is Keola - a supposedly better (& more expensive) blend.

PTT sukks the big un.
