Out in the western USA not all towns have gas stations and even fewer have diesel. Gasbuddy.com is worthless in these remote areas but I did happen upon a great resource on the Web.
It is the online Yellow Pages at www.yellowpages.com. It has a search function with a Browse Box where I put in Diesel Fuel and a Near Box where I put in the towns. The search would include the surrounding area so if a town like Whitefish, MT (outside of Glacier NP) did not have a station pumping diesel it would list and show on a map the locations in the surrounding area that did (Kalispell, MT).
Knowing where I can get diesel I can adjust the route for our trips accordingly and plan my fuel stops in advance.
Interesting. I have purchased diesel in Coram, Hungry Horse, Columbia Falls, Kalispell, Polson, and Missoula.
I have no reason to go to Whitefish these days.
Diesel is also available in East Glacier and Browning.
Just out of curiosity, I checked yellowpages.com for diesel near Whitefish. It showed one station in Evergreen (near Kalispell), and one South of Kalispell. However, montanagasprices.com shows a Town Pump and Safeway in Whitefish that have diesel.
By the way, there are a LOT of other stations in Kalispell that have diesel fuel.
IMO, yellowpages.com is not very useful for finding diesel fuel.
