The major annoyance is that the diesel pump is usually on an end island shared with a gas pump. It is the inconsiderate car drivers who will use this island instead of a gas only island who cause the problems.
Attitudes like this are the problem. Why is a car driver inconsiderate for fueling up at a gas pump? The station didn't put that pump there so nobody would use it. Maybe those of us with diesel trucks pulling 40 ft 5th wheels are inconsiderate for not going to a truck stop where there is plenty of room and we are not blocking the gas pumps that 98% of road users are trying to get to.
Sorry, not trying to be rude but more acting like the devils advocate. We are the minority. Most stations that have a diesel pump with the gas pumps in our area also have signs saying "auto diesel". This is because the location is not designed for large trucks. They also have a gas pump there because they don't make money on that real estate if nobody is fueling there. And there are a lot more gas burners than diesel burners on the road.
