Hi, I'm driving to Poland at the end of the month, anyone know what diesel is called in Poland.
Thanks

If it is not shown as Diesel then look out for Olej napędowy

Have just asked a Polish work mate and he thinks its "ropa naftowa"
To be sure, that if you just use the word "diesel" at any tankstelle they will know what you mean. Failing all that, just smell the different hoses and look for the spillage stains on the garage driveway for the obvious. Good luck.

Most of the petrol attendants in Poland use sign language.
The correct way to ask for diesel is to rub your crotch and wink 3 times at him.
