Exactly, I could see her getting flustered and just pumping diesel into the general area of the fill nozzle. Even I have grabbed the diesel nozzle a couple of times when my mind was occupied with something else, never got to the point of actually trying to cram it down the neck.
Took a trip to Italy a while back and was glad that I read in one of my guides that our diesel is called gasolio there! Had to train myself to look for benzina...my rental car was a MB that was sort of a minivan, never saw anything remotely like it in the US. The thing had no pickup, but it got from me from Roma to Milano through Perugia, Ravenna, Verona, Venezia, and Brescia.
