I don't understand that statement. How can the person that sells off-road fuel possibly control what you put the fuel in? I could understand if they knowingly watched you pour off-road into a road vehicle but if you put it in a container to take home I don't see how they could be held...
I'd say technically you'd be in violation of the tax laws. It would probably depend on how bad the cop wanted to bust you (some cops are "by the book" and I'd bet you'd get a ticket). You should be able to win in court though but it would still be a major pain fighting it.
All that being said...

Off-road diesel (dyed) used to be high sulfur and on-road was low sulfur. Recently they have changed off-road to low sulfur and on-road to ultra low sulfur. They are working on changing it all over to ultra low in the future. For years nobody cared about off-road equipment but the EPA is really...

In TN you can get fined even running it off-road if it is a taged vehicle.
