Going into Glacier NP from the west I can get gas at any one of 10 stations in Whitefish but not one of them sells diesel. Going out the east side the first town is Browning where again I can get gas at any of the 3 gas stations but not a single one has diesel. If my truck used gas I would never give it a second thought but with a diesel truck I do and I go out of my way many times on trips to get diesel for the truck.
I traveled back roads and some Interstate all the way from Arkansas to Glacier NP, through Glacier NP and to Canada and then back through Glacier NP and OMG I never worried about getting diesel and never had a problem getting diesel. I am glad I do not live in your worrisome world. My nearly 300,000 miles of traveling to all the lower 48, Canada, and Mexico, and I have never fretted getting diesel. I did have to pay $4.89/gallon for diesel on that trip to Glacier in 2008 and that was at a truck stop on the Interstate.
Life is too short to worry about the small stuff. Be proactive. Plan. Get Delorme Street Atlas USA and download all the truck stops, Walmarts, etc. that sell fuel and stay ahead of the game. This is about one of the most Full of BS threads I have ever read and tried to contribute common sense to!
