IF semi tanker can get in to delivery fuel I can get in/out to buy fuel........even if I had to back out.

Tanker trucks that deliver to gas stations don't always go under the canopy and are shorter than a regular semi. Tanker heights can very but are often 11' to 11'6" in height (reg. semi 13'6"). The 5th wheel can often be taller than a tanker. I know I am.

Since I only travel for fun, I stick to the truck stops and use the RV or truck lanes so I don't have to worry about it. I might pay a little more but I know I'll fit and the diesel I buy will often be fresher and less likely contaminated. I've pulled into some gas stations and the diesel pumps looked like they had not been used in months. Nozzle dirty and looked like stuff was growing on it. A tank of bad fuel can cost thousands in repairs.

Good luck and enjoy your trip.

5th wheel is 13' 4" and I have yet to find a station I couldn't get into/out of.
I've had more issues in CGs than any station.

And I never use truck stops because of the diesel fuel all over the place.........pad, nozzle, pump.
I also don't carry a spare fuel filter and have never had a 'fuel' problem.

I like living on the edge...makes life more exciting :B

Ain't life good..........so many options/choices.
