Fuelman Cards for Truck lanes

Because of the saddle tanks on the 2017 Seneca, it only makes sense for me to use the dual pumps in the semi truck lanes at truck stops unless I'm missing something about the tanks supposedly able to cross feed (albeit slowly). This involves wife going into the store because we can't pay at the pump with a credit card and exchanging hand signals when the pump is on. Does anyone use a Fuelman card or equivalent to be able to pay at the pump?

I have a Pacific Pride card and just get a statement to pay at the end of the month. It’s nice because they are all set up for big rigs and usually easy in and out. The card is also part of Pridenet which you can pretty much use at thousands of regular stations. They also have an app that finds the closest station and maps directions to the station.

I have the Good Sam RV Plus Card which gives the holder 8 cents per gallon off of the diesel cash price at Pilot and Flying J truck stops. I use it when convenient even to fuel my cars with gasoline, I think it is 5 cents per gallon off for gasoline. I can pay at the pump using the RV Plus Card with my PIN (they call it the Control Number). Much more convenient than running in or out of the store itself. I have my account set up to automatically debit my checking account making it easy to manage, they send you an email statement letting you know the charged amount and when it will be debited. I also have the Pilot/Flying J phone app so I can map out my fuel stops along my chosen route.

You are correct about the tanks not cross-filling quickly, here is a link that explains our Equaflo fuel system put together by a Seneca owner: Jayco Seneca Freightliner M2 Two Separate Fuel Tanks and Equiflo, How the hell does this work? | RV Underground

I also have the Good Sam Membership card for $.08 discount but also use my Costco Visa card for an additional 4% rebate. Never had a problem using a credit card at the pump

Truck lanes

Same as Robby - we almost exclusively use Pilot/Flying J and the RV Plus card to pay at the pump ( not a credit card - it is a charge card ) you still have to go in for the receipt- only 1 trip ( if you want a receipt ) other “ truck stops “ rarely have DEF at the pump Les
