k-2 kerosene
went to the local truckstop/convenience store and all they had was k-2 dyed kerosene. Will this work as a thinner for WMO and waste ATF? Its only about .20 less then diesel.

It is dyed because it is not for highway use. Even to dilute WMO & ATF.

Yeah but ATF is already red. If he is using a red colored fluid for fuel he might as well use red dyed kerosene.

What makes a cop do anything?
Most dipping occurs in areas that sell off road fuel for agriculture so city driving is usually safer. Some cops hang out and wait to see someone putting off road fuel into their tank.
