[Vwdiesel] diesel fuel stations

[jon.sykes at ps.ge.com]

I've been paying more attention.  Most of the Diamond Shamrocks seem to have
at least one diesel pump, even though they don't always advertise the diesel
price (and hence, availability) on the sign.  Total and DS both say 50
cetane on their pumps.

In the TDI, I've only filled with the so called "50" cetane diesel.  The one
time I didn't, at a Texaco, the car actually started to smoke.  That was the
first and last time I've filled at a Texaco station.  I always ran the
Rabbit on whatever was cheapest, and when I got it back to start rebuilding
it, I only filled once at that station, and the head gasket was already
leaking, so I wasn't able to really guage how it was doing.
