I know someone who has filled up his diesel car with petrol twice, and
I think it would be a good idea to put a sensor in the tank that would
stop him driving off and wrecking his engine. There may be an
after-market market for this.

I think if he / she can't tell the difference ( anyone actually *can* - they
just need to use that thing called a brain ) it would be easier and probably
better for road safety if they didn't drive a car. Maybe they can't tell green
from red either ?

Can't you smell the difference?
