I rented a car in Poland a few years ago that required diesel. When I went to fill it up, I panicked when I realized:
1- They do not "color code" fuel pump handles in Poland
2- "Diesel" in Polish isn't spelled anything like it is in English
I scratched my head for several moments, walked over to the nice person inside the attached mini-mart and smiled as I held up my credit card.
When I got in the car I crossed my fingers, because I still couldn't be sure the person who helped me understood what I was trying desperately to communicate.
