Personally I try to avoid filling up in Minnesota. The state is a little different in that fuel stations tend not to be on I-90. You usually have to drive a few miles away from the interstate to find a station. Don’t fill up in Southern Wisconsin as merging back on could be a nightmare. There are some stations in the Tomah area in Western Wisconsin. We stopped at a Loves station near Oakdale. It wasn’t huge, but maneuvering our 34’ fiver around the outside pumps was not a problem. Just outside the western border of Minnesota there is a Flying J in Sioux Falls, SD.
I don’t know much about it, but a Kwik Trip station in MN and a Road Ranger station in Wisconsin had labels on the pump saying that the fuel might be up to 20% biodiesel. I chose to fill up elsewhere.
I haven’t been there, but in Illinois there is a truck stop on I-90 about 15 miles east of Rockford at Route 20.
I would suggest using Gas Buddy to find diesel fuel stations and then Google Maps to make sure you can get in and out without a problem. Any station with good access to diesel should also have easy access to gasoline.
Have a great trip!
