Tru-fuel question.

[Sidecarflip]

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

Some stations here sell off road diesel here too. Guess it’s because I live in farm country

It is not uncommon to see a tractor at the pump when they are hauling corn.

Years ago we had a station that sold Turbo Blue race gas in the summer. It was in a above ground tank. When the racing season was over they switched it to kerosene

Not so much corn but hay here .

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.

I said hauling.

I would never, never pull my transfer cart into the filling station up town to fill my tractor, The transfer cart stays in the field as it's primary use is to transfer corn or wheat into the tractor trailer for transport to the elevator. Same applies to the combine, besides, the grain table would never fit in the filling station in the first place as it's 20 feet wide.

Normally, I never run the combine on the road with the grain table attached in the first place. The grain table gets removed and goes on the nurse wagon. Somehow I believe you 'borrowed' that picture from somewhere and they certainly are not at any filling station anyway but in a farm yard.

I expect they are lined up at the elevator waiting to dump. Pretty common around here.

Both carts pulled by tractors and tractor trailer grain carts are common here. Combines driving down the road, same deal.

It’s the cost to get it to NY and the northeast . No pipelines and no refineries in the area propane is the same

They are everywhere, tank storage in Albany, Philly, Baltimore, ct, pipeline runs to them

Most refined gas is trucked or railed into the Northeast . There are a couple of Natural gas pipelines but most rural areas don’t have access to it .

The Pilgrim pipeline that was going to run from Albany to NJ was abandoned . I couldn’t find any references to gasoline or fuel oil pipelines. Just liquid natural gas

All kinds of tank farms probably most haul in by train and trucks.
