Before you embark on your trip, stop in at a good bookstore or at AAA and try to find a copy of "The Next Exit" or a similar book. This book, and its competitive sister books, give listings for what's at every exit off every interstate in the USA (with the exception of most belt loops). Fuel stations that carry diesel are marked as such, though I don't think DEF is marked at this time (or at least it wasn't in the 2010 The Next Exit). It's difficult to use these books when you are traveling by yourself, but you could carry it along and look at it when at a rest area. Restaurants, motels, and fuel stations are listed, plus places like grocery stores, Wal-Mart and Target, etc. We buy a new one every 2 or 3 years - we find it just as invaluable a resource as paper maps!
