Diesel Receipt Examples

See how our generator formats diesel fuel receipts: large-volume truck fill-ups with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel, state diesel excise tax disclosure higher than gasoline, and DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) add-ons on the same ticket.

Diesel fuel receipts cover passenger diesel and commercial truck diesel (often with DEF additive) at $3.50-$4.80/gal with federal excise tax of $0.244/gal (vs $0.184/gal for gasoline). These receipts include the pump number, gallons pumped, and price per gallon for fleet management and IRS mileage substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a diesel fuel receipt differ from a regular gasoline receipt?

A diesel receipt uses the same gallons × price-per-gallon format but shows DIESEL FUEL #2 or ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL (ULSD) on the fuel line instead of a grade like Regular 87. Diesel receipts typically show higher gallon volumes because diesel vehicles (especially trucks) have larger fuel tanks (26–36 gallons). The federal diesel excise tax is $0.244/gal (versus $0.184/gal for gasoline), and state diesel taxes differ from gasoline taxes in most states.

What is DEF on a gas station receipt?

DEF stands for Diesel Exhaust Fluid: a urea-water solution injected into the exhaust stream of diesel engines with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce NOx emissions. It is required by law on all diesel vehicles built after 2010 (trucks, SUVs, and cars). Larger stations sell DEF at the pump or in jugs inside. On a receipt, DEF appears as a separate retail line item (not a fuel line) at approximately $3.50–$5.50 per gallon, taxed at the standard sales tax rate.

Why do diesel receipts show larger gallon volumes?

Full-size diesel pickup trucks (Ford F-250/350, Chevy Silverado HD, Ram 2500/3500) have fuel tanks ranging from 26 to 48 gallons. A complete fill-up from near-empty can exceed 30 gallons, producing dollar totals of $90–$160 at typical diesel prices. Our diesel receipt examples reflect realistic fill-up volumes for these vehicles rather than the 10–15 gallon partial fills more common with passenger car receipts.

Is the diesel excise tax higher than the gasoline excise tax?

Yes. The federal diesel excise tax is $0.244 per gallon compared to $0.184 per gallon for gasoline, a $0.06/gal difference. State diesel taxes also differ from state gasoline taxes; some states tax diesel higher than gasoline, others lower. The per-gallon tax rates are disclosed on the receipt as an informational line, not as a separate charge; they are already built into the pump price.
