Different types of diesel

Years ago when there was alot more Mom & Pop Truckstops more of them had a 'Refer Fuel/Off Road Diesel pump w/ the Red dye in it. Nowadays the major Truckstops just mark the receipt as refer, it's the same fuel just taxed differently like mentioned before you get a refund on the tax paid when you file the IFTA quarterly

 

We had DOT come in our yard one time and dipped tanks on all the trucks in the yard.

LSD was for EPA04 engines... it came out in 2003
ULSD was for EPA07 engines.. it came out in 2006 and replaced LSD . 08 model year engines have EPA07 standard.

 

in 2018 NV DOT was doing inspection just north of LV on I-15. They checked my tanks for red dyed fuel.

 

Their fuel is not dyed. Why would you not keep your fuel receipts?

 

Just an FYI.
The off road non taxed ULSD red dyed fuel is exactly what you use at home for home heating fuel.

 

The Florida agricultural checks have a sign saying “ fuel check point” as does the scale house’s in North Carolina.
I have been running that route for fifteen years passed those fuel check points and have never had my fuel checked.

 

I live in a small town in TN.
They set up on the main road about once a year and stop every diesel car, pickup, and semi going thru and dip the tanks... if they find red fuel they fine the driver $10,000 and seize the vehicle for tax evasion....
