Diesel Fueling Stations
Hi Gang,
This may sound stupid, but I am considering traveling from Vancouver, Canada to Seattle in my 300D and I was wondering, as I hum along I-5 and discover I need fuel, how do I find a Diesel seller? Can you tell from a highway sign, or are there certain companies that always sell Diesel? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |
Usually most of the bigger stations have at least one Diesel pump, the smaller "compact" stations often don't. I don't think you'll have any problem along an interstate finding Diesel, just watch where the trucks are going.

Definetly a truck stop will have diesel on the highways. Also you will find that if a gas station sells diesel, it will have the price listed seperately on their sign. Diesel is always listed at the bottom and 99% of the time it's in green. So from a distance you can pick out the diesel selling stations. Have a nice trip. Just in case, bring along a few jugs of Wessen or Crisco veg. oil.

Here in Michigan, each Interstate exit also lists various services, including Fuel. Mobil, Shell and others have added the black-on-yellow word "Diesel" to advertise stations that have, well, Diesel for sale.
Check the exit signs, and happy motoring Best Regards, Jim |
gas stations would be stupid if they did not carry diesel on the I 5, don't worry though just go to the larger stations the usually have signs up miles before telling you what's ahead, have fun

I forsee no problems...diesel is realitively popular in a logging/farm/wet state heh.
I-5 has oodles of them even down here. I think the only station I have ever seen without diesel was a Cheveron station in Wilsonville, OR. Odd... Throw in a 5gal can...that'll get you 100 miles to the next station whenever you need it :D |

If you're still uncomfortable about it, buy a big plastic kerosene can, fill it with diesel, and put it in the trunk. :) Mike |
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the replies and well wishes. :) I'll make the trip and hope for the best! Thanks! Alfred |
If you happen to slide down further south near Portland or Newberg, drop me a line :D
