[AT] Fuel Oil vs. Diesel Fuel

[charlie hill]

John,  there are  a couple of convenience stores around here, out in the 
country that have non-highway diesel actually in a pump on an island just 
like their highway diesel and gasoline.  They are careful to ask if you are 
using it off road but otherwise you just fill your tanks and pay up.  One 
place even takes a credit card at the pump.   I have a couple of 55 gal 
drums with stickers on them that say non-highway use only.  I just fill them 
and pump them out into my furnace tank with a transfer pump.  It's about 
$.30 a gallon cheaper than having it delivered and no minimum purchase 
requirement.

Dad uses off-road diesel to heat his house. It is the same stuff I burn in
the tractor. Last fall we had the farm tank and his house tanks filled up at
the same time. They charged him something like $.20-.30 a gallon more. He
refused to pay the price difference and told them to come pump it back out
if they wouldn't adjust the price. so, they made a 30 mile trip to pump it
out.  By the way, he had bought 3 times the amount of fuel I had.
