Though I'm familiar with the area, I don't know who does. I don't like the Pilot anyway as their parking lot is a wreck with potholes. Ask North Trail where they get their's.

I would have hoped the dealer filled the tank on a new MH.

If not, they must know where you can get ULSD.

Wait a minute! Back the fuel truck up?
You mean North Trail won't fill it for you on their tab?
I took delivery of mine at Newmar, they filled it. When I got back to Canada, the dealer also filled it up.

Unless it is written into your contract that you get no fuel, North Trail always fills the tank.

If you need ULSD, about 7 miles East of NT on RT 80 (the main road) there is a Sunoco station on the South side of the road. They have a seperate island for diesel.

A second choice is about 5 miles East of NT on the same road and South side. It is a brand new station (I forget the name). They have diesel, but the entry and exit will be difficult.

No not true. Only California is 100% ULSD. All other states LSD is legal until 2010 although refineries must meet an 80% ULSD threshhold.

Under the second part of the rule, all filling stations will be required to sell ULSD instead of, or in addition to, regular diesel fuel.

I noticed it when checking fuel prices on the Pilot web site, Some locations in florida have it and others do not. www.pilotcorp.com

If push comes to shove can I run a tank of lsd?

Don't know source of your quote but its wrong.

Here is the EPA Clean Diesel statement

Although ULSD fuel is the dominant highway diesel fuel produced, EPA does not require service stations and truck stops to sell ULSD fuel. Therefore, ULSD fuel might not be available at every service station or truck stop. Diesel retailers may choose to sell Low Sulfur Diesel fuel instead of ULSD fuel until December 1, 2010, when only ULSD fuel will be available for highway use.

MA4529,
If it is a matter of life or death, put LSD in the coach. Other than that, I would not do it. Per my earlier post there are options available to you.
