May I tag onto this: just joined the diesel world. What is the protocol for using the truck pumps? I know it is get in and out of the way of folks trying to make a living quick. Any practical advice?
I am routinely filling up my diesel sedans and pickups at truck stops.
Quite often the truck pumps offer lower price than multi-fuel pumps on front.
Check if your RV can accommodate big nozzle. If not, often you can find 1 pump with small nozzle between truck islands. I also carry funnel for extreme situation. Most big pumps have dual hoses, so if your RV has fuel door on other side, you need to pull off the hose on stand with meter, activate the meter, lay the hose on the ground and then go to other side and pull other hose.
Costco lately added diesel to their stations and they have good prices.
Bad part - most of them have long waiting lanes.
Here is my sedan at typical truck stop. Do I look good, or what?
