This is a pretty general question but I didn't find a "general diesel" topic:


How can I differentiate between a "good" and "bad" gas station that carries diesel fuel? I know fuel quality is critical, so I want to feed her the good stuff. On the highway I'd think all will be good, but what about in town?


Off hand I don't even know where the nearest diesel station is located.......I better find one this week........http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif

GO WHERE THERES GOOD TURN OVER, MEANING WHERE THE FUEL IS BEING USED AND RESTOCKED ALL THE TIME. DIESEL FUEL HOLD WATER, SO THE LESS IT SITES THERE THE LESS CHANCE YOU'LL GET WATER ABSORTION.http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

Thanks. This weekend I drove around some in my local area (trying to get to 500 miles!) and found several stations that have diesel. However, only one or two actually had the price with "Diesel" posted where I could see it driving by. I'm making the assumption that such a station, that advertises diesel, probably sells a lot more that one that doesn't.


By the way, I also saw some stations selling "Premium diesel" for about $1.90 per gallon where eht non-premium went for about $1.70.

I would not necessary assume that one that displays their price sells alot of fuel. Along with price, watch to see if local companies like dump trucks and local trucking companies are constantly filling up their fuel there. Price does matter but so does the station taking care of their customers and having a lot of fuel "turnover".
