Only fuel I have delivered is farm diesel. My motor fuel comes from the filling station up town as I have no gas powered farm equipment to need a bulk gasoline tank anyway and, my diesel powered standby genset is directly plumbed into it as well. My lawnmower is also diesel, a Kubota F series to be exact and all my diesel powered equipment runs 10 micron Racor, heated bowl pre filters as well. Any junk in the diesel fuel is certain death for injection pumps and injectors. My fuel supplier also pre treats the ORD with a biocide and fuel treatment in the winter to mitigate gelling, something vitally important, especially today with the low ambient temperature, it's a balmy 7 above zero here presently. Certainly shorts and tee shirt weather....lol
 
It is not uncommon to see a tractor at the pump when they are hauling corn.
I think you mean harvesting, not hauling. Hauling is almost always reserved to grain trailers and semi tractors. When I'm running off farm fields I do the same deal up town at the filling station because it's convenient and saves me the expense of having my wife drive the pickup truck (diesel tank in back) to the field for me to fill up. The filling station up town has a separate set of pumps just for off road diesel away from the normal filling pumps so as not to block the fuel island with farm equipment.
