Many years ago (late '90s), I saw a gizmo on the clearance table at Canadian Tire. Basically, it was a rubber trough with a loop to hold it around the fuel filler. It had stand-off legs, and a "key" at the free end to wind it up for storage (would self-deploy when the fuel door was opened). Its purpose was so that any splashed fuel would drain away without getting on the paint.
I've heard a number of stories about either people new to diesels, or with inattentive friends/family, who put RUG in their TDI. Something like this rubber gizmo, in fuel-can yellow with "DIESEL" in big black letters (2-shot moulding) would be an extra reminder. Any idea if there's a source for such a thing?
