Cant argue that either! These new diesels are getting insanely complicated. But for pulling heavy still no substitute.
I remember the first time i pulled through the mountains with my old Dodge V10. I thought it was blowing up, just no power up high.
Now if they add a turbo to the big V8's Hmmmm??2021 Solitude 375 RES-R

On todays diesel engines does the check engine light come on if motor is running while fueling?
I have had this happen on gas vehicles.

Oregon still doesn't allow motorists to pump their own fuel. I guess it's residents (me included) aren't smart enough to figure out how to do it. If you need to get fuel in Oregon, you better not be in a hurry. It's not uncommon to sit for five minutes waiting for the attendant to help you and another few minutes after the pump shuts off for him to come back and put your cap back on. And you need to be extra careful when asking for diesel to make sure the attendant actually pumps the right fuel.
Sorry for the rant. One of my pet peeves as an Oregon resident.Brian & Kellie

You can pump diesel. You can only pump your own gas in certain rural towns during certain hours.
You can pump your own gas if you're riding a motorcycle. I should say that the attendant will give you the nozzle. They start the pump and finish the transaction. I used to do my own process and never had trouble. Most attendants are scared to drip gas on MC tanks.

I always found the reasons stupid why Oregon won't allow pumping your own gas. What do Ore residents do when they go to WA, CA, Id, etc?Last edited by goducks14; 03-01-2019 at 11:41 AM.

I agree with this, usually by the time one has navigated off the interstate and to the gas station the turbo has cooled sufficiently. Where you need to be more cautious is those cases where the fuel station or rest stops are right off the freeway, which does not allow sufficient time for the turbo to cool. I have an Edge gauges installed which indicates turbo EGR temperature, I'll idle until the EGR drops below 350 degrees.
