I actually prefer full service when filling my diesel. The diesel pump nozzles are typically a mess and your hands reek of diesel fuel for the rest of the day...when I am headed to work in a suit, no thanks.

I rarely buy gasoline the last couple years, driving a diesel car and truck. I've only found nasty diesel nozzles at truck stop type places, most regular gas stations are now selling diesel and the nozzle is on the same pump as the gas and just as clean. On a side note, I find the smell of gasoline sickening but modern diesel w the sulphur gone is like baby oil in comparison.
There is a diesel only station in DTLA with usually the cheapest fuel around where it's full serve only. A kid comes out and pumps it for you, then pulls an old Casio calculator out and figures your cash discount from the pump price, if paying cash.
