I don't know what quantities of diesel and fertilizer, but they do pay 
attention to that just like they do sudafed (ephredrine products - yes, used 
to manufacture meth) 

 When my credit card was stolen , this past july (remeber the price of gas 
then), the thieves had hit a number of gas stations, but after the second 
one, citibank called me at home, told me they had put a 'stop' on the card, 
and dispatched the police-- this was all while the thieves were still using 
the card to buy more gas.  Citi knew exactly when , where , and how much. to 
the second, live, while it was happening
