Sure, but you can still put the gas nozzle in your diesel. You really have to read everything sometimes at some gas stations. (The one I get my diesel at has a separate pump for diesel so it's not a big deal.)
If the nozzles were completely incompatible with each other, you'd intentionally have to mix gas and diesel. Anyone got a time machine?

BUT you can fit a gasoline nozzle in a diesel car. That happens regularly especially when a car buyer buys a diesel for the first time. Having run a service department at a large Olds dealership in the 80's diesels were broungt in on the hook with tanks full of gasilone and the customer would say, it just stopped running.

I wouldn't know. Here in Oryguns, we elite have the little people do that sort of thing for us.
When I first moved here, I was castigated (uh, no, Lew. I still have my jewels. "Castigated" means "scolded".) for starting to fill my own tank, as I had done for the previous 35 years in LoCal. Silly me. Anywho, I think nozzles are all the same size here.
