off road
 

ok so i put about 5 gallon of off road in my truck today and it seems to b runnin a little different. it seems to be runnin cooler but its like it tops out rpms out real fast :humm:

To my knowledge Off road is now the same sulphur content as ultra low. Only difference is its red. I usually only run OR and cant notice a difference when i run regular.

soo off road is the new name for red diesel or am i mistaken? i come off a ranch and we all just call it read diesel :humm:

From what i have heard all off road/ red fuel, is just dyed, on road. It is all ultra low sulfur content.

it now only means red diesel (non taxed) green diesel (taxed)

I do know if you get caught with it in your tank, it is a very hefty fine, but if you are only driving a farm use vehichle, you can use.; I think you can, not sure.

found this on IRS website

How To Buy Diesel Fuel and Kerosene Tax Free

You buy dyed diesel fuel and dyed kerosene excise tax free. You must use them only for a nontaxable use, including use on a farm for farming purposes. If you use the dyed fuel for a taxable use, you could be subject to the excise tax and a penalty. For example, if a truck used on a farm for farming purposes is also used on the highways (even though in connection with operating the farm), tax applies to the diesel fuel used (or sold for use) in operating the truck on the highways. The fuel was used off the farm for a taxable use.

found some more on how much a fine it is
1,000 up to 10,000

But my truck does run cooler on Farm Diesel and i might get more MPGs:humm: Maybe its all in my head but i think there is slight a difference

you might be getting a better grade of diesel. since farm fuel is not bought as much as road fuel, the farm might be left over #1 diesel from the winter. i dont know for sure just my thought.

Good to know:tu:

The link that cummins guy found has a typical bureaucrat's entrapment built in.

Farmer Brown's logic: "I drive my truck 20% farm and 80% public road. I never do a full fill-up in town. I buy 20gal in town and add 5-gal from the tank. I should be OK."

In a just and fair world, like what you and I would run, he'd be right.

After a 7-year court battle that costs him his farm, he might be proven Pyrrhicly right.

In the real world, he's guilty until proven innocent, and better off running on "road" fuel.







.......or WVO, so long as the pumps, injectors and all don't mind the extra viscosity.

...I read on a different "red fuel" discussion that in addition to "dipping" your tank and catching you red-handed (no pun intended), "they" can also test for red dye residue in your exhaust pipe's soot layer. Take a toilet brush to the car wash with you, and scrub n rinse as far as you can, if you used to run the red stuff, and you currently aren't, and if the "revenoors" are active in your area.

Question for you northern guys: home heating oil? I've seen comments that it works well, but wonder this: dyed or clean? Detectable or not?

lets just all stick to on road lol. our trucks run better and i dont thank we can be without them for more than a day so lets stay out of jail lol. RUN ON ROAD!!! :c:

My home heating oil is red.

ya i run home heating oil when i can and the truck loves it. runs much smoother. better mpg. and it cost at least $0.50 cheaper than actual diesel. from what iver heard in my state if i dont have a commercial plate then they cant stick my tank without a warrent. i dont have one so im good unless someone basically tells on me.

haha i hear ya man none of the cops in my town like me because if someone is pulled over i usualy leave a black cloud of death around their car and when they pull me over for accessive smoke i just say " look ifficer im really sorry butt this truck is 20 years old and i hung an injector" little does he know they are brand new :woot2: and it is a purty good idea to stick to the green stuff here in south texas because my buddy was running it in our dump truck and he got a 3000 dollar fine :scare2:

nice line to say to the super trooper. ya i'd hate to get caught so i just change it up sometimes just in case.

I just tell them I run a 50/50 ATF and Road diesel mix and that's why it's red... so far they've bought it :tu:

i never thought about that i run atf in my fuel not a 50/50 butt i do run it thats a good idea
