    I'm loading in Decatur IL and going up to Tacoma WA and need to find #1 diesel along the way. I know SD has it at most truck stops but I'm looking for Iowa along 380/35 and then MN 35/90. Any suggestions?

    Kwik Trip has their TundraMaxx. Not straight #1 but I haven’t had any issues when I’ve ran it.

    Love's winter treats their fuel at all locations during winter months. It's on their website somewhere as well. I had the same question a couple years ago when I was running a similar route in January.

    They only treat it good enough so it flows out from the pump, then it's your problem

    Winter blend is a joke. it's #2 fuel with treatment and the minimum amount. I've seen plenty of truck stops with "winter blend" fuel that won't pump when it's -20 or close..

    You’re better off buying a case of fuel treatment. And just treat it yourself.
