[VAC] Re: Truck Stops?



Dave,
 It's only Kosher to buy fuel for your tow vehicle at the truck islands
if you're Jewish. :-)

Many stations only sell Diesel at the truck islands. Those that have it
in both auto and truck islands don't usually care if you fuel your P/U
at the truck island. Bear in mind that the "truck" fuel nozzles are much
larger for high flow rates (for filling a 100-gallon tank in a
reasonable time) and may not fit your P/U. They're also harder to
modulate at lower flow rates for your P/U. They do work fine in my
Dodge, but I can't vouch for others.

I haven't seen many gasoline pumps at the "truck" islands, but haven't
really looked, either.
