Google maps satellite and street view, and the Gas Buddy app. Gas Buddy will tell you which stations have diesel, Google maps satellite and street view will give you the layout and in/outs of the station to help you determine if it will work for you. I always plan out where we will stop along the way prior to hitting the road.
Personally, I know my range when towing and when not, and plan ahead. I also have a 7 gal "just in case" can with me, though I did recently use it as part of my planned fuel to get through an expensive area to the next town over. I plan on doing so again when I do the same route, in reverse. I use the Gas Buddy app, but know that it is =entirely= user-driven and I've pulled into a station that shows diesel only to find that there was none and never had any. =Always= have an alternative...and AAA! :-) While my current FW is pretty short at just over 10', I've never had an issue with any station. I =did= have to drive through one recently, though. I had my route through the station all planned out in my head, but when I got into the station the pump I was going to use was down and there was no real way for me to get to another, so I just drove a few miles down the road to fill up. NBD...
