In order to avoid the hassle of cramped gas pumps we decided to give truck stop diesel pumps a try. When I tried to fuel my truck it would only take fuel very slowly. If I tried pumping above the very lowest speed it was like the fuel would back up and I would get diesel "burped" all over me. It happened both times I tried the commercial pumps. After the second attempt I just opted to use the regular diesel pumps and was extra careful getting to and away from the pumps. Has anybody else experienced this?

1st off I avoid the auto lanes with a 5er at all times, too easy to get into a point of no return position. With that said My Ram 3500 has not problem with Truck lane pumps in fact I am in and our very fast s it is a bonus.
To avoid having to deal with auto lanes many of as have installed AUX tanks I have a 46 Gal so nearly 80 Gallons on board, so more range then I would drive on any given day. so very convenient to fuel after disconnected or stretch fuelings to the next truck stop.
I also fuel at the Truck lanes as I use the TSD Fuel Card with provides $0.25 $0.50 per gal discounts. Get one it is highly recommended, they have a card for RV'ers. (use

Anyway for about $600 you can DIY a decent size Aux fuel tank, however keep in mind it takes away from payload and with a 2500 3/4 ton you are likely already at or over payload pulling a Montana 5er
