    Alright so I know that finding off-road diesel around the highways might be easier said than done, but I need to have a location nearby my home base so I can be sure to fill up the reefer before a cross-country run.

    Does anybody have any knowledge of good spots around this area? I am in Woodbridge, VA around the Potomac Mills mall.

    I really wish this information was easily searchable on the internet.

    Did you call any of the local fuel stops or truck stops?

    You can buy diesel for non-highway use at any pump in Virginia and file this form for a tax refund:

    http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/pdf/ts216.pdf

    Much easier than trying to find a source for farm diesel, and you won't have the risk of contaminating your main tanks with red dye, in case you have to transfer some.

    If you happened to be heading down 234 towards I66 on your way out you might have more luck around Manassas.

    Rixlew Sunoco on Rixlew lane in Manassas, and Cromwell's Fuel off Dumfries road (1/2 mile off 234) used to sell off road. Might want to call first and make sure.

    Dang, I've forgotten all baout YellowPages. Haven't used that in years. But it's a great idea. I looked up there and tons of places to call up. Thank you.

    Wow! This form is like a God-send. Talk about simplifying like crazy. Thank you so very very much!!!

    These are all around my area within 20 miles. I'm gonna start calling them up to see what they still have available. Thank you!
