Finding Diesel

We are planning our first long distance trip from Pensacola Fl To Salt Lake City Utah was wondering will it be hard to find diesel on the trip? It will be in late May thanks for any info.

You shouldn't have any problems. Next exit app will tell you if there is diesel at the exit.

No.......Diesel is readily available

There are 'apps' or whatever they are called

I just pay attention to 'signage' prior to Interstate exits.....they list which stations and what fuel they sell.'
At 1/2 Tank start paying attention to them.

We travel secondary/back roads and find just about every service station has diesel .....are at least enough of them to not be a concern


Interstate travel........even more available

You'll be fine.

If you want download Gas Buddy and set it for Diesel and it will show you the stations that carry it.

What are you driving and what is your range? I carry a aux 100 gallon tank in my chevy dually bed and can run 1400 miles between fill ups. Most stations sell diesel fuel, especially near interstate roads. I use the gas buddy app and fill up whenever I'm near cheap fuel.

Suggest GasBuddy set to diesel. A small class C shouldn’t be an issue with most service stations as far as getting in and out. Depending on your size you can do a satellite view of the station to see about access. Small in town places can be tight. We have a 40ft so unless it’s a truck stop we always look at an overhead view to see if we can get in.
