    I just inquired about buying diesel off the local oil distributors truck... he'll sell it to me for around 30 cents per gallon off pump price...

    Its going to be better if i can just get someone to meet me at the pump.

    I get a receipt when i pump the gas but it says 0$ paid. because the fuel is being discounted to free.

    I would double check your weights if you plan on hauling it your self. Anything over 1001lbs requires a hazmat endorsements and placards. Diesel weighs roughly 7lbs a gallon, so a 50gl drum would weigh about 350lbs. The most you could probably carry if you didn't have hazmat would probably be two drums.

    Go to farmers. They all have tanks they use for equipment. They buy off-road but won't care if it is priced below what they pay.

    so, maybe it is none of my business, but how do you have this honour of being able to get "cheap " diesel?

    Anyone can do it,

    I run a construction company and I have been buying all of my Home Depot gift cards at the grocery store. they give you 10 or 20 C off per gallon for every 50 $ you buy.

    I bought nearly 120k in GC in the last 3 months.

    Do the math.
