US 50 Utah, NV fuel stops

Google Maps is your friend, as well as gas guru and gas buddy - you can search for fuel in GMaps and you can change the selection to diesel in both gas guru and gas buddy to search there. If you are looking for the large chain truck stops, Love, FJ/Pilot etc have websites with location lists/maps.

Niece got pulled-over for leaving her home in Sacramento to go visit her friend in San Jose. $1,500, she claimed.

I used to be a USFS Forestry Tech in Austin back in 79.... I drove Hwy 50 last Sept, stopped at Great Basin Ntl Park/Lehman Cave... Austin is dead center on 50 and has fuel.. stop in and see Stokes Castle.. also Dianna’s Punchbowl and Spencer Hot Springs (both east and south of Austin off of 50)...

A couple years ago, as an easterner traveling around that area I learned to not take fuel for granted. There are lots of areas with many miles of nothin' between them, let alone diesel fuel. Unless you have your fuel stops planned, don't pass up an opportunity to top off the fuel.
There are some beautiful areas out west. We always looked forward to the travel between our destinations.

"pulled-over for leaving her home", hmm, I'm not familiar with that section of the California Vehicle Code. Or Penal Code.
Maybe she was "pulled over" for speeding? Texting/phone? Rolling through a stop sign?
There would be some serious constitutional issues with being pulled over for no other probable cause than leaving home.
I'm guessing there is a lot more (or a lot less) to that story there Bob.
I have driven US50 3 separate one way trips between Northern California and Utah in the past two years, and never had an issue with finding diesel.
Could be different with the covid situation?
HWY 50 is a nice drive and there are a decent amount of nice camping spots along the way....the established ones could be currently closed? I have stayed at the Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area near Austin couple times and it was easy to pull in late At night and sleep.....left in the morning.
Decent California style Taco shop in Ely as well......Robertos?

This is California's stay-at-home order: https://covid19.ca.gov/img/Executive-Order-N-33-20.pdf
It refers to Government Code 8665, about which this page says:
------------
"The order says it is enforceable under Government Code section 8665, which states that anyone who “refuses or willfully neglects” to obey a lawful order is guilty of a misdemeanor and could be fined up to $1,000, imprisoned for six months or both.
Thursday Newsom said the order will likely not be legally enforced except in counties that have said they will do so with their own local shelter-in-place orders, such as Sacramento and many counties in the Bay Area. "
-----------
The niece was in Sacramento. Bingo. Since they have their own stay-in-place order, the fine could be higher.
8665 itself is here: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=GOV§ionNum=8665
