My daughter had her 300SD the last coupla weeks, Wed evening we stopped
at coupla stations looking for dizzel, one looked promising with a
yellow handle on the pump, turned out it was E85. We gave up, she left
yesterday morning after dropping me at the aerodrome, she had about 1/3
tank so I figured that would get her far enough out into America that
she could find some dizzel.
BTW we were up there for the boy's gradjamacation from medical school,
which was a Big *** Deal! (We drive by Joe's house a coupla times,
including yesterday morning, but he did not join us for the event).
I am driving up there again tomorrow in the Suburban to move him to
Providence for his residency. Ugh.

To Kaleb,
re, hauling diesel and lack of a tank.
For my one trip to DC, I had cheap fuel available, so I put 2 30 gal
barrels in the trunk of the 110.110 hooked them together, then fed a
line with a valve into a T in the return fuel line. When the tank got
low, I opened the valve in the trunk and drove until the gauge showed
full. Then i'd stop and shut off the valve. Worked great.
Yes, the trunk on the 110/111/112 was so big I could easily fit 2 30
gal barrels into it., along with our luggage, tools etc. Try that in
your 140 or 210/211 Kaleb!
After 2 of the 5 days in DC i was ready to leave. When I was finally
able to leave, I was so sick of the place, I NEVER want to go back.
Waste, fraud, and abuse; nobody but people in the construction or
service industries actually do any constructive work, and they are
treated like scum. DC is the sub-bilge sump pit of the country.
I never found cheap fuel again, so when my 2 drums were used out, I
took out the system and never used it again. But it was quite handy
for the time in DC, because I could not find any fuel closer than
almost to baltimore. Apparently, it is more common in the past 30
years, since the 300Ds and Diesel pickups got more popular.
