highway with off road?
#53
I've never been tested. I would not chance running red diesel on the road. I have a buddy who got caught and was originally fined over $10,000.00. He never said what he eventually paid. I was told the future in testing was going to be the exhaust test. This would be quicker, easier and take the deception out of the test........just what I have been told by a guy in the business.

They'd have to test the died fuel for emmisions compliance, so whatever difference exists in the chemical composition of the exhaust would be plainly evident. Simple matter for them to set up a sensor to pick up that chemical. Supervisor of a refinery may or may not have a clue. Just like anyone else on the interweb.

the EPA is only going to be concerned that it doesn't make the exhaust pollutants worse. weather it is still detectable is going to be the tax mans interest.
as far as i know is that the current test is just a visual check. compare the color to a chart kind of test. going from that straight to a chemical analysis of the exhaust seems a little far fetched to me.
i am not saying it is not possible it just doesn't seem plausible

Not president of a refinery, but the facilities manager ( he drives a 2000 7.3). I was told today that some State's DOT are already utilizing the exhaust test.
