Reefer fuel in a P/U ????

In places where they sell "discount" reefer fuel, which is nothing more than dyed fuel, it says right on the pump, "FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY". Why do you think that is? Because it's illegal to run it in ANYTHING on the road. That's why you pay less for it because it doesn't have the extra taxes in the price.

 

Heres VA rules.

Dyed diesel fuel is untaxed fuel. Low sulfur dyed diesel
fuel can be used in vehicles that are not registered or
required to be registered in Virginia, when conducting
business as provided for in Va. Code §§ 46.2-662 through
46.2-684. Va. Code § 58.1-2265​

Can dyed diesel fuel be used
in vehicles registered for
farming purposes (F-tags)?​

No. Since federal or state tax has
not been paid on dyed diesel fuel,
it cannot be used in vehicles that
are designed for highway use and
are required to be registered in
Virginia. Va. Code
§ 58.1-2265​

Can dyed diesel fuel be used
in
unlicensed farm vehicles?​

Yes. Low sulfur dyed diesel fuel may be used in vehicles
that are not registered or required to be registered in the
state and operated in accordance with the provisions of Va.
Code §§ 46.2-662 through 46.2-684.​

A DMV special agent collects a fuel sample for unlawful
use of dyed diesel fuel.​

Is there a penalty for unlawful use of dyed diesel
fuel?​

Yes. The civil penalty is a minimum of $1,000 or $10 per
gallon of fuel, based on the maximum storage capacity
of the tank(s). Penalties are charged on the propulsion
tanks of the vehicles as well as on any storage tanks on the
vehicles. Penalties can also be charged on the storage tank
at the farm if that was the source of the dyed fuel found in
the vehicle.
Va. Code §58.1-2265(B)
Any person who refuses to allow an inspection or collection
of a fuel sample is subject to a $5,000 penalty for each
refusal. If the refusal is for a vehicle fuel sample collection,
the penalty is assessed to the registered owner of the
vehicle. If the refusal is for a sample to be taken from any
other storage tank or container, the penalty will be payable
by the owner of the storage tank or container. Va. Code
§58.1-2267
A person may be charged with a Class 6 felony if he or she
uses dyed diesel fuel for a use that he or she knows or has
reason to know is a taxable use of the fuel. Penalties can be
charged if a person sells dyed diesel fuel to someone who
the seller knows or has reason to know will use the fuel
for a taxable purpose. If the amount of fuel is less than 20
gallons, the person may be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Va. Code § 58.1-2273(7)
A person who attempts to alter the strength or composition
of any dye or dye marker in any dyed diesel fuel may be​

charged with a Class 6 felony.

This just proves your other post wrong. It's not legal to run dyed fuel on the road regardless of what your are doing.

 

Now Rockinnrollin and Outerspacehillbillie, get the story straight as it's the same in OK and TX plus several other farm states. Sorry to bust your uniformed bubbles. I run a Farm-use pickup and we can use Red fuel. Read the rules I posted them and the site where you can get more infomation before you start reaming people out and embarrassing yourselves.

 

You better reread the rules you just proved yourself wrong!

 

You need to read the law as it says, a Farm use vehicle can be use don the hiway. I am not paying Fuel Tax on Farm use Fuel and I am legal. Stop at any livestock sale barn and tell all the farmers they are running illegal and they will laugh your butt into the street.

I am not going to argue with you. It would just bring me down to your level.

 

According to the ASTM test standards, there are 7 grades of diesel fuel.
Three #1's
Three #2
and one #4

The differences are the sulphur levels and also they test carbon and potash on spent fuels among other things.

Besides the tax thing. Personal diesel vehicles have requirements on which diesel you use just like these newer trucks or you void warranty. The fuel injectors are subject to get deposits on them.

 

did you drink some of that dyed fuel or can you just not read the law that you posted? Here it is again for you as you posted it but I will enlarge the print for you so you might be able to read it this time.

Please highlight for us where it says farm use vehicles can be used on the highway. All I see is where it says you may not use dyed fuel in any vehicle that requires registering which is completely opposite of what your saying.
