How We Got Diesel

As I've mentioned before, we were running low on diesel in the van we have and there was none to be found.  Ironically, the man we rented the car from gave us this van instead of another because he said that diesel was easier to find and the other car used gas.  Things have obviously changed!
One day we saw a huge line for diesel but Andy didn't want to sit all day so he was going to go back in the morning.  The diesel was all gone by night fall so we learned that you don't wait.  Sometimes you can wait in line for hours and when you get to the pump it's all gone so it's a very frustrating process. 
The interesting thing is that they let people with gas cans fill up in between the cars.  We hired a friend from the church here who is out of work to take our gas can and go all over town looking for diesel.  By 5:00 that night he had filled up the can and called us to come get in.  With that amount we were able to fill up the van to almost 1/2 full.  I think we will use this tactic again.
