Am I right in thinking "Avgas= red Avtur=Black " As @Josh points out, there's a huge chance of error with disastrous consequences, there. I'm sure the average Avgas -burner would continue running on Mogas orUL91....likewise, a Turbine will run on just about any combustible liquid,though in either case, performance/engine life may take a nosedive. As the 3 "gas" options are all the same "family" doesn't it make sense to stick to the same colour? WRT charging, there are foilcals which are permanently attached and the adhesive needs a solvent such as MEK to remove I think £1.80 to remove a hole in "the Swiss cheese" is great VFM.....why should the vendor take responsibility and liability for correctly fuelling an unmarked tank?
The margin on fuel is bad enough, without providing a subsidy.
There is scope, no doubt, to waive the charge for someone wishing to purchase a reasonable quantity of fuel....or they could just fit permanent, clear identification to their fillers.
