First, forgive me if this information has been posted in the past - my search came up empty.
So . . . I am a new diesel owner and am getting ready for some trips in the next few weeks - once this friggin winter weather decides to go away. Anyway, I think I have just about everything figured out on the new DP but it occurred to me that I now need to make sure I have diesel fuel available on my routes. Flying J, Pilot, Love's - tons of them out there. My first question is, in my 37 foot RV am I expected to go through the truck pumps? Next question, (and this is probably really stupid) are those pumps basically the same as the others? Can you pay at these pumps? Any special "etiquette" required at the truck pumps? I assume all of the big name stations have the extra low sulfur diesel?
I apologize for all of these really silly questions, but I am one of those who likes (needs) to know what to expect in advance.
Looking forward to the usual great input.
I see you are from IN. WE do not stop at Love's in IN because twice we've been told we can't fuel at the truck pumps. Don't know if it was two lazy counter people or company policy. Since IN has two tier pricing on diesel fuel, they told us to use the auto diesel pumps, because we needed to pay state sales tax on the fuel which isn't added in at the truck pumps. But then again it may have been way above their math abilities to figure out the additional amount due. The Love's pumps at both locations were perpendicular to the building, not fun in a congested parking lot with a toad.
