I had a good friend who farmed W. Texas and was exposed to the local red sales force when LP became popular. Just about the time he got his corral full of them and their problems, out comes Diesel fuel as the salvation and the retailer was back out at his place with a trailer full of demos to load him up with them. This was back in the early '60s general time line and he was glad to get the Diesels.
I had one, a well worn JD 4020 with the 100 gal liquid line "Nurse" tank (wheeled with tow bar) you had to drag around with it if you were going to be out more than 6 hours plowing. Not only was getting the gas a problem, the weather was a big factor in the ability to refuel the thing and sitting in the open station in the summer was dreadful. On running out of fuel in the field, a later Diesel acquisition would run all day on a tank of fuel and you didn't need to bring along a babysitter!
On refueling the Diesels, need I say anything that folks on here don't already know.......wink!
