Simple habits
Read the pump before you lift the nozzle, keep a fuel reminder on the cap or dashboard, and slow down at the forecourt. Extra care in a hire or courtesy car you're not used to.
Prevention devices
Misfuel-prevention inserts for the filler neck exist for many diesels and physically block a petrol nozzle. Worth it if you've had a near miss.
