I was worried about the same thing with my Jerry cans. Turns out the spouts on diesel specific jerry cans (the yellow plastic ones) are a bigger diameter than ones specific for petrol (the red ones) so no risk of tripping the misfuel device ...as long as you use the correct cans.
That makes sense...when I went to buy my Jerries, the place only had the (Red) 10l ones I was after. I also have the diesel (yellow) 20L, but I like carrying a few 10L ones also.Quote:

Yellow = Locking wheel nut ‘key’.Quote:

Yes make sure you have the lock nut remover with you at all times. New a chap years ago had a puncture in the bush and found the tyre fitters hadn't given him his nut remover back! Luckily he was able to stuff the hole with plugs and keep moving.
I suspect getting the lock nut off with the sort of minimal too kit he carried would have been impossible. :(
I don't have them on the D4 and won't bother getting any. When we're away I don't think there's much danger of wheels being nicked and at home we have a good camera system which is fully visible to the light fingered lot. We've seen them come down the driveway to try the Defenders door and when the red floodlights come on it's "Oh ****" (lip reading) and off they go very quickly. :)
