Uh, yea you can but if you get caught, you will pay dearly! That diesel is non taxed, I believe, thus the cheaper price. It also has DYE in it so the government man can check your tank. If he detects dye in it, you're busted big time!
The fine can be as high as $10,000.00. You had better think about this before you use RED fuel. The dye stays in the fuel even after you add regular diesel. It takes a while to dilute it so you (or the feds) won't notice. Fair warning.

you can run red fuel all you want but must change out your fuel filter twice as often. have been running red on a stroke of mine for 215k miles [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (farm truck that is). i get red by pulling up with a trailer that has 2-1500 gallon tanks on it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. everything i run is diesel even my riding mower hehe.

I think they are talking about off-road petro (dyed diesel), not bio. This would be hazmat.
'Course in my experience w/ government, EPA definition of HAZMAT is: anything OTHER than pure, distilled water, and a wetlands is anything OTHER than Death Valley (but Death Valley is off limits too, cause it has endangered species in it).

I think you are right. I messed up following the discussion. I have bio on the brain. I agree with your assessment of the EPA.

Other than red dye, are there other signs you are running it; more smoke,different color smoke, ect. Also, will it hurt the engine or injectors? I live in Hawaii and the local powers that be dont see much diesel traffic. Plus our avg. diesel #2 cost is $2.43. Just a thought...Thanks, BigPigPSD

Off-road fuel ='s home heating oil. Ask just about any heating oil delivery guy, and in the summer they make most of their runs to construction sites to fuel up trucks/dozers, etc... At least mine does.

[/ QUOTE ] That is so true I am a driver for an oil company and know for sure that home heating oil and off road are 100% the same (as in fuel,tank source and paper work) during summer months, during winter we give 30-40% off rd kero.
