Red Dyed Fuel

Perfectly LEGAL to run RED off road fuel in refer....done it for years.....same reason your asked at modern card swipe pumps...if you want trk/reefer fuel....all about taxes....
and BTW its ALL the SAME FUEL....just dyed different colors....

 

As a fuel hauler I can confirm this, there is ZERO difference in the fuel, just one being taxed and the other isn't.

I always thought Diesel was naturally green, but in reality it's clear as water. They dye it a light green color, same as gasoline, to show it's on highway use. At the rack when we load there is a little injector on each loading pipe, it sprays in a little red dye every 4-5 seconds. Stuff looks like candy apple red. I wondered how you got red dye and clear ULSD from the same pipe, then found out when you load Dyed diesel the last 100 gallons is loaded as clear, that way it washes out the dye from the pipe for the next guy who might be getting just clear diesel. Pretty awesome stuff

 

I knew about the red dye diesel, but didn't on the "green", learned something new today, but, I have seen clear diesel at T/S before, always wondered what the difference was

 

So why is the fuel in my ol Pete blue a lot of the time lol

 

Yer gettin' the stuff they squeeze outta Smurfs!

 

Without a doubt! Actually drove by the fuel stop and saw him waiting in line behind the farmers with one of our trucks, lol. I don't think the savings was substantial after paying all the fines. Probably not a coincidence he also got audited by Washington state D.O.T. that year, lol.

 

wore out, HA, you got problems. Where you buying that cheap stuff? I suppose you have little fish swimming around in there too.

 

Mine is blue as well. ..
