[AT] Fuel Oil vs. Diesel Fuel

[David Bruce]

There is one store like that near here - the island with highway diesel 
also has a non-highway diesel pump.  My tractor diesel use is rather 
limited so I've been buying in 5 gallon cans.  A number operators here 
fill their pickup mounted refueling tanks from that pump.

The farmer who leases the pasture here has just set up a tractor diesel 
tank here and in a few days I'll also have a key to the lock.  I'll 
record my gallons pumped and settle up with him.  Since I use about 50 
gallons a year it never was worth me setting a tank for my use.
