Thread: Diesel petrol cap in a petrol 2016 golf?

  1. #11

    Hold a match to the filler neck, if it ignites, it's not a diesel.

    Just a question here: Don't diesel cars have a different filler neck vs petrol versions?I know in the past they were a diffirent size in diameter. In case they are, how would a filler cap fit on different size filler neck?? They would have to be different or .... 😕 unless discrimination caught up with them and have be equal 😂

    There's been horror stories of people puting petrol inside diesel cars, but not the other way around. So yes, if they have a petrol Golf, it SHOULDN'T fit the standard diesel filler. (Ignoring the "large truck" nozzles that don't fit anything! (bar large trucks...))

    In the US, the large diesel pumps won't work without an adapter.
