I realize that off-road fuel is NOT legal to run on the road, but is there any differance, other than the added red dye? I saw off road fuel for 90 cents per gallon!!!! DOT will not likely stop and check the fuel in a car.

Shouldn't be a difference but I doubt they'll sell it to you if you're putting it in your car.

It's the same stuff. Only the red dye is added to show that it is untaxed. The chances of them checking a passenger car are just about nil.

Where are you getting it for $.90? Fuel oil is quite a bit more than that now in the Northeast.

Correct - the enforcement of this regulation is in the hands of Diesel Compliance Officers of the IRS

When I worked in Oregon we checked more diesel car/trucks than we did Class 8 trucks (semi's).

Most likely their is no difference, that said there is still high sulfur fuel being used in some areas of the country. The local BP has standard 400 to 500 PPM sulfur fuel, MFA has both high sulfur & standard sulfur off road fuel available at some fuel centers for some reason. One of the off road fuels is also B2 (2% soybio), but I don't which one is the B2 for sure. I buy my B2 on road diesel from MFA, I just never have looked at the off road pumps as they are not close to the highway fuel pumps.

Speaking of IRS they back the idea that B100 should not have road tax on the fuel. I think I remember it having to do with B100 being expermential fuel with no ASTM or some silly thing.

Seems I recall the news story that was pasted here last year about the diesel pickup truck that was wrecked and spilled a load of red dyed diesel fuel on a California Hwy. Seems the state took a dim view of the fugality of the driver and handed him a whopping fine.

Understanding the ethical issue involved, I always wondered why a person couldn't use the dye stuff and add their 10% used, filtered motor oil. That way the fuel is blacker than coal. I would guess however that they could still test it.....

Still looking for that frugal way to burn alternative fuel.....sigh.....

8 parts per million of red dye and it's a positive test. If you dumped some ATF into the tank it would make you positive.
