Default Dyed Diesel / off road fuel.......

O.K., with all the things you can run in a multi-fuel, what about "dyed" fuel?
It is used in off road equipment- as in construction. Has any one used this? If so, what %, and what were the results (power, perfomance, etc.)?

You can run dyed diesel in any diesel engine built before 2007. It is illegal though and big fines if you're caught. That's why it's dyed, so they will know if you run it for road use.

Yup, ditto on what has already been posted.

"the man" likes his tax money and if they catch you running non taxed diesel (dyed) on the highway they really dont take too kindly to that
But yes you CAN run it w/out any issues the dye only identifies it as a non-taxed fuel.

What about ATF then? It's red. Would that get someone a ticket?

It's my understanding that running WMO or anything other than taxed Diesel or Gasoline will give you a pretty steep ticket. That's coming from my friend a WSP officer. The gov't wants his tax money especially right now amid the funding cuts.

I have a fuel blenders license in the state of maryland and can remmitt taxes on any fuel I use on a quarterly bases. I got this because people are always giving me old heating oil to run for free but since it is dyed i don't want to get rapped by the tax man

Which dept. do you go to for a fuel blenders license? How much of a headache is it, worth the trouble or not?
