Most of the pumps in the US have the same hose for 87/89/92 octane pumps that are E10 (10% Ethanol) and if there is a higher ethanol like E15 or E85, they're usually a separate hose. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tal@lemmy.today 8 points 2 years ago* I've seen pumps that have individual hoses for each octane grade in the US, but they're definitely uncommon, at least where I am, and I believe more prevalent on older pumps. But diesel always has its own hose. permalink fedilink source parent
