"What colour is petrol?"

My collegue is telling me that petrol is clear,but I don't believe him, I think its dark grey, because if you buy a top that is petrol colour its like a charchol grey colour. Diesel too? If you buy Diesel colour clothes they would be blue.

He is alos trying to tell me that tax-free petrol that farmers and lorry drivers use is pink!

Can someone colloberate or refute his story?

Maybe he is thinking of gasolene being clear?

Petrol is kinda of a shiny grey colour. Diesel is blacker and I dunno about the pink stuff.

I've tried telling you that I'm actually a bloke in disguise, but none of you believe me.

:p

A woman, admitting to defeat in an argument with a man :o

As a frequent petrol drinker, I can confirm that petrol is a liquid.

As a driver I can confirm petrol is a clear liquid, slightly yellow.

When I was a lot younger, my dad was trying to sort out a problem with his old car - for some reason fed the tube that carries the petrol to a milk bottle so that it doesn't get burnt up (I think there was something clogging up the pipe). The petrol coming out was indeed a yellow colour.

Nope

he did

Grrr.

Did you win your argument?

Oil is clear when you put it into a car. Its only black when it comes out.

Thanks for the info guys.

Once I pulled the pump out of the car while there still a little petrol in the pump and it came out clear. Same with diesel.
