Diesel Into Water Bladder

wrote:
This problem is age old. Now the builders of new sailboats are locating the
potable water intake on the deck close to the bow of the boat.
This way it may not be fool proof but close to sailor proof. Color coding
is a good idea. Normally light blue for potable water, yellow for diesel
and red for gasoline. This way it will match the color coding used on
plastic containers.

Our 30+ year old boat has "water" engraved/moulded into the Aluminum
water cap. Also it is located forward, so nothing to do with the
inboard engine etc. aft.
Colour coding sounds like good idea, although until now wasn't aware
there was a 'standard' for each fluid! So not likely that volunteer
crew members and/or summer staff at a marina will be any more
knowledgeable than myself?
