Ah, Bob, i think you're friend is right <g>

There are NO restrictions on diesel sales!  None, nodda, nein, no.  The 
rules on diesel (other than the low-sulfur stuff) are no different than they 
have been for decades.  The family owns gas stations.  When we borrowed the 
Silver Eagle, we tanked up 300 gallons at one fell swoop.  Not so much as a 
raised eyebrow.  All we got was "y'all have a nice day."  Oh, and she wanted 
to know if we'd had the new 3 Vanilla ice cream we bought before and if we'd 
liked it.  (the answer was yes)

We just filled up 6 - 50 gallon barrels with off-road.  No questions asked.

No one says boo when we pick up 50 to 100 sacks of fertilizer.

Now, I will admit that we don't pull up in a U-Haul but then we wouldn't 
need a U-Haul, Home Depot has their own trucks they'll rent you to haul the 
stuff away with.
